Abstract
Human rights—and social rights in particular—are increasingly perceived as a central benchmark for the arrangement of objectives, policy programs and specific projects in international development policy. The debate on the integration of so-called rights-based approaches into multi- and bilateral development cooperation has contributed to the fact that politicians’ acknowledgment of the relevance of social rights for development has risen considerably in recent years (Sect. 5.1). The Social Protection Floors Initiative of the ILO represents one example of a development agenda which is strictly oriented towards a rights-based approach (Sect. 5.2). Social human rights will also play a key role in the design of the Post-2015 Development Agenda which is currently being negotiated as a framework for the successor of the Millennium Development Goals (Sect. 5.3).

Recommendation concerning National Floors of Social Protection (SPF Recommendation), Recommendation 102, http://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?p=NORMLEXPUB:12100:0::NO:12100:P12100_INSTRUMENT_ID:3065524:NO.

This is in fact a critical point because—as Deacon 2013b, p. 228, rightly points out—“the history of welfare states developed in the twentieth century, social policy and social development science tells us that the better way to reduce poverty is fairly consistent and involves middle-class buy-into inclusive state welfare provision. … (T)he political economy of welfare-state building … teaches us that this requires the construction of cross-alliances and middle-class buy-in to reform.”; (cf. also Deacon 2013a, pp. 159–160). This problem, however, has of course been realized by the advocates of the Social Protection Floor. As Cichon et al. 2011, p. 9, emphasize, it is “critical to ensure that public social security systems include and are supported by all strata of the population, including the rich and the better off, in order to maintain and strengthen broad public support and national solidarity. Such a broad national consensus will protect the necessary fiscal space and maintain pressure to assure the quality of provision. A broad national consensus can best be maintained by ensuring that all people perceive the potential benefits as worthwhile pillars of their risk management strategies. Solidarity works best when providing benefits for all. As the famous health economist Brian Abel-Smith once said: A system for the poor alone will always be a poor system”.

Furthermore, the rights-based approach is especially highlighted in the UNICEF report, UNICEF 2012, p. 49. On the role of civil society in enforcing the right to social security, see also Communication of the EU-Commission on Social Protection in European Union Development Cooperation, 20.8.2012, COM(2012) 446 final, p. 9: “Civil society and the social partners should be empowered and encouraged to partner with the state in developing and implementing social protection systems. Their participation can help promote efficiency in provision as well as wider consultation and inclusion. They can play a key role as advocates for social protection as well as empowering communities and individuals, in particular the disadvantaged and excluded, through raising awareness and improving information. In some instances, they can also help in monitoring and evaluating social protection schemes.”

See Deacon 2013a, p. 158: “(T)he watering down of the reference to international financial support to that being possibly necessary only initially and only in the poorest countries, flowing as it does with the fashion to stress to emphasise on national fiscal responsibility, undermines the case of those who still call for global taxes for global public goods”.

Cf. the foreword of UN General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon to the MDG report 2014 (United Nations 2014, p. 3): “The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have been the most successful global anti-poverty push in history. Significant and substantial progress has been made in meeting many of the targets—including halving the number of people living in extreme poverty and the proportion of people without sustainable access to improved sources of drinking water. The proportion of urban slum dwellers declined significantly. Remarkable gains have been made in the fight against malaria and tuberculosis. There have been visible improvements in all health areas as well as primary education. …”.

Particularly noteworthy from a social rights perspective are Goal 1 (End poverty in all its forms everywhere, inter alia [target 1.3] implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable), Goal 2 (End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture), Goal 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, inter alia [target 3.8] achieve universal health coverage (UHC), including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health care services), Goal 6 (Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all), Goal 10 (Reduce inequality within and among countries; inter alia [target 10.2] empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status) and Goal 11 (Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, inter alia [target 11.1] ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services, and upgrade slums).

Human rights standards and principles provide concrete guidance as to how goals and targets should be framed. Governments have already committed to uphold human rights in numerous international treaties; however these existing legal obligations and norms have been largely overlooked in current development policy”.
- 77.
The UN Special Procedures mandate-holders have rightly claimed in a joint statement published in May 2013 that “(t)he post-2015 agenda should include a goal on the provision of social protection floors, explicitly referencing the right to social security and a human rights-based approach to social protection”. Moreover, they have formulated two additional recommendations concerning key priorities for the Post-2015 development agenda: “The post-2015 agenda should incorporate equality as a stand-alone and cross-cutting goal, aiming to progressively eliminate disparities within and between the most marginalized groups and the general population as well as between countries in order to achieve more inclusive forms of development.” … “Accountability must be at the core of the post-2015 development framework. We propose the establishment of a double accountability mechanism, whereby accountability mechanisms are developed at both national and international levels.”; see Statement by 17 Special Procedures mandate-holders of the Human Rights Council on the Post-2015 development agenda, 21.5.2013, http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=13341&LangID=E.
