Resumen
The growing interaction of development and human rights, especially in the work of nongovernment organizations (NGOs), has important implications for NGOs, donor agencies and governments. Three trends--a rights-based approach to development, joint advocacy by human rights and development NGOs, and expanded attention to economic and social rights human rights groups--are the substance of the growing interaction. Human rights offer internationally recognized standards as benchmarks and bases for accountability of NGOs, governments, and corporations; a new source of influence for NGOs' advocacy; and the first fundamental challenge to a market-dominated view of development that has prevailed since the 1980s. NGOs' efforts to link human rights and development are examined to reveal both potential and limitations.
