Human rights based approach to recovery from the global economic and financial crises, with a focus on those living in poverty 2011, para. 59
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Increasing inequalities and food insecurity, the declining availability of natural resources and unpredictable changes to climate patterns are likely to increase the potential for social unrest throughout the world. Any recovery plan must anticipate these challenges and assume that there will be many more crises to recover from. What is needed, therefore, is human rights-based change that directly addresses the long-term structural barriers to equality and sets the foundations for a sustainable, socially inclusive society.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
