Description: Human Development Report, now in its eleventh edition, provides a thought provoking analysis of two interrelated and intertwined issues: human rights and human development. The Report traces the history of struggle for human rights as a common human experience and outlines the new frontier of the rights agenda for the 21st Century. It analyzes how human rights must be respected, protected, and fulfilled in the development process. The Report also demonstrates the ways in which human rights enrich human development goals by adding moral force and ideas of claims, duties, and obligations. It shows how human development, in turn, brings a dynamic long-term perspective to human rights. Of particular importance is the current global economic rules and institutions and how they address human rights issues. The Report proposes strategies for promoting development that also protect and further human rights.
