#HRC54
"There are many intersecting barriers to the realisation of the right to development. FORUM-ASIA’s recent research in six countries in Northeast, Central, Southeast and South Asia shows how solely focusing on economic growth undermines the very tenets of inclusive develop-ment, namely meaningful participation, fair distribution, and intergenerational equity, as well as people’s enjoyment of economic, social, cultural, civil, and political rights."
Oral statement during #HRC54 on Item 3: Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the right to development, on behalf of Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA).
