Notes de l'éditeur
- Expansion of civil and political rights is not enough. Rights are interdependent and indivisible, which means there is need to adopt appropriate social and economic policies that lead to the fulfillment of rights of all without discrimination. Art 1 of the UDHR unequivocally stresses the importance of equality. However, exclusion, poverty, discrimination, and inequality are at the root of the pervasive cultural, economic and social rights violations throughout the region. Children’s and women’s rights, which are part of human rights, will not be fulfilled with “business as usual”. UNICEF must advocate for innovative and inclusive public policies that address the root causes of poverty. As this is a fundamental role of the state, the way the state’s institutions functions (the “kind” of democracy) needs to be strengthened, e.g. promoting participation by all, especially marginalized groups. So what has happened to the interface between democracy (civil and political rights) and development (cultural, social, and economic rights)?
