International Human Rights
According to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights;
- Every State has the sovereign and inalienable right to choose its economic, political, social and cultural system in accordance with the will of its people.
- It is a basic principle of international law that States have the duty to cooperate with one another in order to maintain international peace and security and to promote international economic stability and progress free from discrimination.
- The duty to promote the right to development is of general application, and thus applies to transnational corporations.
Whilst America Haven't ratified the agreement they operate social media infrastructure within Australia who have. They hold and monopolise big Data assets & have thus impeded our national interests in development, & by not funding appropriate advancements in data science which Horoscorpio has proposed on the contrary.

In any analysis of the right to development, the well-being of individuals in areas such as the availability of food, access to health care and education facilities, population policies, the availability of meaningful employment, the achievement of an equitable rural/urban balance and environmental factors must be considered. Many of these issues have become the subject of standard-setting instruments drawn up by the United Nations and its specialized agencies such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) and UNESCO and can thus no longer be considered to be exclusively within the domestic jurisdiction of Member States that are parties to such instruments.
In view of the growing interrelationship between “national” and “international” aspects of develop- ment, it may not always be possible to draw a workable distinction between what constitutes the “international” as opposed to the “national” dimensions of particular issues. In some cases the influence of activities at one level on those at the other level may be decisive, and it is thus not feasible to consider only a single side of the coin.
Ethical aspects of the right to development Consideration of the ethical aspects of the human right to development raises a variety of issues which were referred to during the relevant debate at the thir- ty-third session of the Commission on Human Rights in 1977. These range from the relatively pragmatic view that it is in the best interests of all States to promote the universal realization of the right, to the view that there are fundamental philosophical values which can be said to underlie the right to development in its broadest sense. These issues encompass in particular the following arguments:
(a) The fundamental character of development: the promotion of development is a fundamental concern of every human endeavour;
(b) The international duty of solidarity for development: in international relations there exists a duty of solidarity which is solemnly recognized in the Charter;
(c) Moral interdependence: the increasing interdependence of all peoples underlines the necessity of sharing responsibility for the promotion of development;
(d) Economic interdependence: it is in the economic best interests of all States to promote universal realization of the right to development;
(e) The maintenance of world peace: existing economic and other disparities are inconsistent with the maintenance of world peace and stability;
(f) The moral duty of reparation: the industrialised countries, former colonial powers and some others have a moral duty of reparation to make up for past exploitation.
These are a variety of ethical arguments which may be considered to support the existence, in ethical terms, of a right to development.
