Paragraph
Large-scale development project and human rights defenders 2013, para. 26
- Paragraph text
- The main elements of the human rights-based approach, in particular when applied to development policy and projects, are enshrined in different international instruments and standards. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, in their article 1, both state: All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic cooperation, based upon the principle of mutual benefit, and international law. In no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence.
