Международная идеология прав человека: к вопросу о праве на развитие

Abstract

The realization of the right to life as an ontological, philosophical and legal category is necessarily associated with the problem of either degenerative or progressive development of a human being and humankind. Degenerative development inevitably results in the death of human civilization. Progressive development means realization of all the fundamental human rights of an individual and humankind, the right to life being the primary one. Adherence to such an approach assumes that the concept of sustainable development, introduced b y the U N theorists into academic and international legal circulation, is not quite correct today. It is not clear which variant of sustainable development is recommended and advocated b y the UNO. Is it a backward movement? Or does this development mean a movement forward and upward in all the spheres of human life, of different large and small social groups and humankind in general? Having analyzed the structure and essence of present human civilization development, basic international legal acts of the U N dealing with the right to development, the author concludes that today the international community of nations should speak not about the sustainable development and the right to it as one of the primary goals, but about the necessary implementation of the human right to sustainable progressive development of an individual, social groups, nations, ethnoses i.e. the necessary implementation of the right to further sustainable progressive development of the humankind in general. To achieve this goal it is necessary to assert in the society an essentially different paradigm of development and to set up a n ew energy basis.
