[governance] right to development, the structure of IGC and IG issues for march deadline

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I understand this.  But is it actually accepted as a reason for  
action?  From what I have read this is not binding.  And while the US  
may have signed it, I do not see any signs that the US is doing much  
to support it.  Or any other country for that matter.

On the hand, it does not appear as if even all of the CS accepts the  
RTD, and thus we still need to do work among ourselves to find the  
basis for going forward with this as a presumption.

For my own part, I accept it naively and as a basis for action.
but I would also like to understand how it fits into general theories  
of rights.
