Many states are keen to limit the possibility that there are positive human rights obligations to people other than their own. However decades of United Nations consideration and human rights standard-setting in the area of international cooperation have advanced interpretations of that obligation whereby economic and other policies should be designed in such a way as to avoid causing injury to the interests of developing states and to the rights of their people, and moreover, should actively seek to address global deprivations. What does international law today require in the area of socio-economic rights and what can we really expect?
