This paper discusses the link between human rights and needs, and social development in an era of globalization. It argues that development does not always take into account human values and social goals; rather, development is often confused with market-based economic growth. The author calls on policy-makers to design policies that alleviate poverty, overcome social exclusion and reduce persistent categorical inequalities with the object of advancing human rights and basic human needs.
