FIAN Demands Human Rights for All in Post-2015 Agenda
Human rights have surged to the forefront of the debate about what will succeed the Millennium Development Goals in 2015.
As human rights and social justice organizations worldwide, we feel compelled to lay out some of the baseline implications of embedding human rights into the core of the sustainable development agenda this time around.
In the statement below, FIAN and over 35 other civil society organizations demand that the post-2015 framework be anchored in human rights and move from a model of charity to one of justice, based on the inherent dignity of people as human rights-holders, domestic governments as primary duty-bearers, and all development actors sharing common but differentiated responsibilities.
