Abstract

The realization and the acceptance of the fact that most dangerous problems humanity has to face are global, and thus their prevention and mitigation is only possible through coordinated, trans-national efforts, it is still incomplete. The right to develompent as a human right is a new branch on the ever-growing tree called the human rights system. The development strategies should focus on basic human needs. The scarce resources play a major role in fostering the human rights abuses of today. If the programmes which distinguish human rights from the use of scarce resources prevail, the progress that has hitherto been achieved as regards human rights will be reversed. The Ogoni case can be considered precedent-establishing in the light of the tragic consequences of competition for scarce resources.
