That is why the time is right for a report aimed at drawing out the complex relationship between human development and human rights. The UNDP Human Development Report 2000 is unapologetically independent and provocative. Rather, they are critical to achieving it. And the most important step towards generating the kind of economic growth needed to do that is the establishment of transparent, accountable and effective systems of institutions and laws. Only when people feel they have a stake and a voice will they throw themselves wholeheartedly into development.
Rights make human beings better economic actors.
