A TRILOGY OF BASIC HUMAN CONCERNS: HUMAN RIGHTS; SUSTAINABLE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT; HUMAN SECURITY

Abstract

The realisation of this paradigm will not only generate economic growth world-wide, but will also distribute its benefits equitably. It will regenerate the environment, instead of destroying it. It will empower people rather than marginalise them. It will enlarge people’s choices and their opportunities and provide them with opportunities to participate in decisions that affect their life.
