Abstract

This issue of the African Human Rights Law journal (AHRLj) appears as the world celebrates 75 years since the adoption of the United Nations (UN) Declaration of Human Rights (Universal Declaration). The Universal Declaration did not include a 'right to development'; the closest it has come was to provide, in article 22, that 'everyone' is entitled to the realisation of 'the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality'.
