This statement discusses the role of economic theory and global economic policies in articulating the Right to Development (RtD). In particular, the statement argues for the importance of global economic policy, focusing on four main points: the development economics basis for the RtD and for defining obligations under this right; economic policies and other public policies as the principal means for implementing the RtD; a priority agenda for collective international responsibilities; and mobilizing civil society to move the RtD forward.
