There has been considerable debate as to whether the right to development can be regarded as a human right. This issue can now be taken as settled, following the achievement of consensus for the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action in 1993, which has been reaffirmed at a series of intergovernmental conferences since then. We must distinguish between recognizing the right to development as a human right—which is an undeniable fact—and the creation of legally binding obligations relating to that right—which requires a more nuanced explanation.
