One of the first instruments to formally acknowledge the relationship between human rights and economic development was the 1984 Lomé III Convention, which mentioned human rights in its preamble and in the joint declarations attached to it. Two years later, the United Nations Declaration on the Right to Development also recognised the close relationship between human rights and development. This recognition was strongly endorsed by the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights. The Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, which emanated from that conference, clearly recognised the interdependence and mutually reinforcing relationship between “democracy, development and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms”. In 1998, a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Policy Document on Integrating Human Rights with Sustainable Development emphasised the link between human rights and development and concluded that “human rights and sustainable development are inextricably linked, complementary and multidimensional”. Furthermore, a 2013 study also showed that “human rights and development are considered ‘parallel streams’ which address similar problems and share similar views”.
