Background

Background

The Human Rights Council, in its resolution 33/14 of 29 September 2016, established the mandate of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to development. The mandate was recently extended by resolution 51/7. Mr. Surya Deva was appointed Special Rapporteur for a period of three years and took up his functions on 1 May 2023.

In 2023, the Special Rapporteur will be presenting (i) to the Human Rights Council a report outlining a vision for the future in “reinvigorating the right to development” in September 2023 and (ii) to the General Assembly in October 2023 a report on “the role of business in realizing the right to development in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other relevant international human rights instruments”.
