Cooperación al desarrollo y derechos humanos (en el ámbito de las relaciones internacionales)

Resumen

The lnternational Cooperation Development is an instrument used by the majar powers in the sphere of international relations. As such, this has served more the interests of donors than the improvement in living conditions of the target population, and with regard to human rights. However, the international cooperation must be guided towards the satisfaction of basic human needs and empowerment of populations (S. Sen and M. Nussbaum), according to its original sense in the Charter of the United Nations. This thesis pays attention to the original sense of the lnternational Cooperation in the human rights system. lt makes a revision of the "colonial encounter" as an origin of international cooperation development practices. Lastly, this research refers also to the "development human right" in the trame of human rights system, as a political guaranty in the field of international relations.
