A right to development critique of Millennium Development Goal 8

The idea that human solidarity transcends national boundaries and extends to all people of the world is expressed in key human rights documents from the Charter of the United Nations to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. And the principle that States have international obligations arising from solidarity is stated in these and several other documents, notably in the Declaration on the Right to Development and in the 1993 Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action.
