Abstract

Abstract One of the pillars of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the pledge to “leave no one behind”. This paper argues that we must recognise that many people throughout the world are not just being left behind. They are being pushed even further behind, and their levels of well-being are falling, often in ways from which it is impossible to fully recover. Indeed, many are confronted with forces that lead to their avoidable premature deaths. Thus, development policies should have as their first priority to ensure that no one is pushed behind. The paper argues that this could be secured through a different way of framing economic policy, that focuses on the obligations of states to respect, protect and fulfil economic, social and cultural rights. The paper also highlights the ways in which deprived people are using the human rights system to claim their rights.

不让任何人掉队
摘要《2030年可持续发展议程》的支柱之一是承诺“不让任何人掉队”。本文认为,我们必须认识到,世界各地的许多人不仅仅是被落在了后面。他们被进一步推到了后面,他们的幸福感水平正在下降,通常是不可能完全恢复的。事实上,许多人面临着导致他们本可以避免的过早死亡的力量。因此,发展政策应将确保没有人被推后作为其首要任务。该文件认为,这可以通过一种不同的经济政策制定方式来确保,该方式侧重于国家尊重、保护和履行经济、社会和文化权利的义务。该文件还强调了被剥夺者利用人权制度主张权利的方式。
