Abstract
ABSTRACT: This article revisits the right to development (R2D) paradigm. It conceptualizes development using a rights-based model, noting the failure of the conventional paradigm that focuses one-sidedly on economic growth. It interrogates the dialectics on the existence of a R2D, with its correlative duty-bearers, under particular international law, with rigorous analysis of some global instruments. The article also interrogates the related concept of international cooperation under the UN Charter and other primary legal instruments. It notes the modest strides in the long advocacy for the recognition of a R2D but suggests a shift in the current paradigm in recognition of the multidimensional realities in the international landscape.
