The right to development and the right to culture

Abstract

Abstract provided by author:

The introduction briefly, attempts to define the concept of 'human rights', as cornerstone for the discussion. Further it focuses on various categorizations and generations of human rights concepts, and as well as the indivisibility and interdependence of human rights and development resulting in the realization of the right to development as a human right concept. A few questions are posed for the purpose of indicating the research problem

The first chapter focuses on the historical development, legal status, and enforceability of the right to development and the right to culture in the international and national plane specifically in Namibia. The second chapter is an illustration of the case study in Namibia, namely the Epupa Hydro Power Project. In this chapter more emphasis will be given to the possible conflicts between the right to development and the right to culture. Thus it includes the juxtaposition created by the two human rights concepts

The third chapter is a study of other countries with similar cases and their national laws relating to the right to development and the right to culture. The conclusion is an endeavor to come up with suggestions for the purpose of solving conflicts that would occur between the right to development and the right to culture
