The UN Special Rapporteur on the right to development, the Permanent Mission of Chile to the United Nations in Geneva and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights co-organised a side event to discuss the nexus between the right to development and economic, social and cultural rights.

The side event sought to:

1. Underscore the mutually reinforcing relation between the right to development and economic, social and cultural rights;
2. Highlight the value addition provided by the right to development in ensuring a dignified life for everyone everywhere and thus leave no one behind;
3. Showcase good practices in implementing economic, social and cultural rights and in turn contributing to the realisation of the right to development; and
4. Examine the relevance of the right to development as well as economic, social and cultural rights for the Pact for the Future.
