Human Rights and Economic Growth Should Complement Each Other for Holistic Sustainable Development

Abstract

Human right is the natural right of every human being. Human rights and economic development should move together, but unfortunately many times human rights of working and suffering class are violated to earn more income and thereby economic growth. Even in communist China the human rights are often violated, despite high economic growth. The western countries often condemn China for its dubious human rights record. The growth becomes inclusive and meaningful with human development. If human rights and economic growth moves together, complement each other, it is perfect script for holistic development. The Millennium Declaration has rightfully recognized the link between human rights, good governance and development.
