The recognition of human rights as the ground rules for development and development programming
stems from the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, the first and second UN Reform
programmes of the UN Secretary-General, and the Millennium Summit of 2000. Its culmination has been
found in the 2005 World Summit Outcome document, in which Member States unequivocally and
unanimously stress their support for the further mainstreaming of human rights throughout the United
Nations system. As stated in the document, “We resolve to integrate the promotion and protection of
human rights into national policies and to support the further mainstreaming of human rights throughout
the United Nations system, as well as closer cooperation between the Office of the High Commissioner
for Human Rights and all relevant United Nations bodies.”
The 2005 World Summit Outcome highlights the fundamental nature of human rights by stressing that
peace and security, development and human rights are interlinked and mutually reinforcing. In the context
of the Outcome Document, human rights are intrinsically linked to all the major issues on the agenda of
the United Nations: development, peace and collective security, democracy, terrorism, domestic resource
mobilization, migration, the special needs of Africa, transnational crime, human security, and other issues.
Applying a human rights-based approach to development will enable UNDP, the UN system, and its
partners to enhance the effectiveness of their work through a focus on equality and nondiscrimination,
accountability, justice, and transparency as the core of human development results. In this context, this
Guide comes as a response to the need identified by UNDP for an applications-based resource on
human rights and human development (HD). The content relates to the different UNDP practice areas
and promotes an approach that is easily adaptable to particular regional and national settings, drawing
upon the experiences, challenges and opportunities of the UNDP Regional Bureaux and Centres. The
Guide, therefore, seeks to assist UNDP staff and other development practitioners in the practical
application of a human rights-based approach to development policy and programmes.
Conceptually, the Guide is framed by the United Nations Common Understanding on a Human Rightsbased
Approach (HRBA) to Development Cooperation2 and seeks to enhance the capacity of UNDP staff
to effectively adopt and implement the Common Understanding in the tasks that they are called upon to
perform in their day-to-day work.
As far as the tasks relating to the Common Country Assessment (CCA) and the United Nations
Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) are concerned, the Guide draws upon and seeks to
complement existing United Nations Development Group/United Nations Executive Committee for
Humanitarian Affairs (UNDG/UNECHA) initiatives developed within the UN Action 2 realm. The primary
focus is on UNDP’s policy and programme contribution within this larger process.
This Guide seeks to illustrate how human rights standards and principles should relate to UNDP
engagement on the development agenda at country level, and influence advocacy, policy and
programming initiatives, in all phases of the development planning and implementation process. It
provides guidance and not instruction, and gives an overview that may be adapted to particular country
needs. The given sections/modules can be used together or separately, according to local need. UNDP
staff may use these guidelines with state and non-state actors and partners on the national and local level
toward the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Thus, depending on the specific
context, an HRBA will be designed and implemented accordingly.
A significant change is taking place in the international development community, reflected in relationships
between governments and donor agencies, and in ways that development programmes are funded,
implemented and managed. This Guide identifies the ways in which the HRBA adds value and links into this changing context. UNDP must proactively take this UN-initiated process forward and facilitate the
process of recognizing and acting upon its implications. It would not only be the right thing to do, but also
the most effective thing to do in order to achieve concrete development outcomes for all and not just a
few.
