The Declaration on the Right to Development was proclaimed by the UNGA under resolution 41/128 in 1986.<ref>{{cite web|title=Declaration on the Right to Development. A/RES/41/128|url=https://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/41/a41r128.htm|access-date=2014-05-03}}</ref> with only the United States voting against the resolution and eight absentions.
The [[Right to development]] is regarded as an inalienable human right which all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and political development. The right includes 1) people-centred development, identifying "the human person" as the central subject, participant and beneficiary of development; 2) a human rights-based approach specifically requiring that development is to be carried out in a manner "in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realized"; 3) participation, calling for the "active, free and meaningful participation" of people in development; 4) equity, underlining the need for "the fair distribution of the benefits" of development; 5) non-discrimination, permitting "no distinction as to race, sex, language or religion"; and 6) [[self-determination]], the declaration integrates self-determination, including full sovereignty over natural resources, as a constituent element of the right to development.<ref>{{cite web|title=Development is a Human Right for All|url=http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Development/Pages/IntroductionStatement.aspx|access-date=2014-05-03}}</ref>
The right is a third generation right viewed as a group right such that it is owed to communities as opposed to an individual right applying to individuals "It is a people, not an individual, that is entitled to the right to self-determination and to national and global development"<ref>{{cite journal|last=Sucharitkul|first=Sompong|title=The Concept of Human Rights in International Law.|journal=International Sustainable Development Law|volume=1. Vol. I - The Nature And Sources Of International Development Law|pages=4–5}}</ref> One obstacle to the right is in the difficult process of defining 'people' for the purposes of self- determination. Additionally, most developing states voice concerns about the negative impacts of aspects of international trade, unequal access to technology and crushing debt burden and hope to create binding obligations to facilitate development as a way of improving governance and the rule of law. The right to development embodies three additional attributes which clarify its meaning and specify how it may reduce poverty 1) The first is a holistic approach which integrates human rights into the process 2) an enabling environment offers fairer terms in the economic relations for developing countries and 3) the concept of social justice and equity involves the participation of the people of countries involved and a fair distribution of developmental benefits with special attention given to marginalised and vulnerable members of the population.<ref>{{cite book|last=Moeckli |first=Daniel |display-authors=etal. |title=International Human Rights Law|year=2010|publisher=Oxford University Press|___location=Oxford|pages=618}}</ref>
