This chapter explores the human rights–based approach (HRBA) as a guiding principle of development cooperation. It traces its evolution from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to its operationalisation by the UN and integration into the 2030 Agenda. While donors have advanced awareness, dialogue, and institutional capacity, systemic impact remains limited by weak political will, entrenched norms, and competing interests. Case studies from Vietnam, Colombia, and beyond illustrate both achievements and constraints. The HRBA is shown to be a necessary compass but insufficient alone to transform rights protection without deeper structural and cultural change.

摘要

This chapter explores the human rights–based approach (HRBA) as a guiding principle of development cooperation. It traces its evolution from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to its operationalisation by the UN and integration into the 2030 Agenda. While donors have advanced awareness, dialogue, and institutional capacity, systemic impact remains limited by weak political will, entrenched norms, and competing interests. Case studies from Vietnam, Colombia, and beyond illustrate both achievements and constraints. The HRBA is shown to be a necessary compass but insufficient alone to transform rights protection without deeper structural and cultural change.
