The Right to Development represents a wide and comprehensive concept oriented to improve the living conditions of the people in order to create a common development. The international relations of the last four decades have been characterized by a globalization and integration. This change, after the era of the Cold War, had led the international community to the prevailing of the cooperation and interdependence. The governments improved their functioning to the requirements of efficiency and competitiveness in order to bring it into modernization.
Nevertheless, it is fitting to indicate that this globalization and integration process confronted severe challenges and limitations since early this century, due to new waves of protectionism and unilateralism policies adopted by the great powers. This situation has affected the Right to Development of the people and its expectations of peace, security and welfare. Moreover, some new tendences like the Deglobalization is affecting the productive structure and interdependence to a global scale, involving new challenges to the whole international community.
However, recently innovate proposals have been introduced to support the development and stability of the international community as a whole, basis on new and open comprehensive cooperation programs, including measures and assistance to improve the economic, cultural, social and the political fields. These new proposals would allow to all the developing countries a better use of the economic complementary and it facilitate the access to the benefits of bilateral and regional projects, under the principles of equal benefits.
The Right to the Development will be reinforce through the implementation of the Initiatives explained before. There is an international responsibility of the great powers to cooperate in the design of programs to facilitate the common development, a win-win cooperation, including transfer of resources oriented to alleviate poverty, improve education and health conditions and secure social and cultural needs. The BRI and GDI were formulated with the vision to help the economies to identify priorities and strategists in those sectors related to the wellbeing of the people. Their programs take into account the need to incentive the growth the economic, cultural and social sectors of each country, providing the necessary instruments for the reactivation of the nation as a whole in the post COVID 19 era.
The international community need to develop common goals and best practices for the exchange of cooperation and collective actions. It will important the reinforce of the economic and cultural grouping on the basis of open dialogue, mutual respect, justice, free determination and cultural tolerance. It will represent the best guarantee to all countries to have peaceful relations and economic interdependence, cultural and social integration and political stability. It will lead to the global community to a new international order basis in understandings and equity, far away from ideological blocks. A new international order with a share destiny.
