Summary

Emanates from the Nobel Symposium "The right to development and human rights in development", Oslo, Norway, 13-15 October 2003. Discusses the notion of the right to development as a right related to, but different from, human rights-based development. Considers the responsibilities of the State and transnational corporations, and issues of implementation at the national level. Stresses the roles of human rights bodies, development agencies, and financial institutions in the realization of the right to development.
