The field of social development has seen three major approaches to dealing with problems:
the Charity Model
the Needs-Based Approach
the Rights-Based Approach
For half a century, developing nations were arguing at the United Nations sessions for the need to recognize the right to development as a human right. With a growing globalization process and several political changes around the world, and with increasing pressure from developing nations, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Right to Development.
“The right to development is an inalienable human right by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and political development, in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realised.”
This declaration gave a strong boost to the Rights-Based Approach to development and marked a new era in social development.
