The diplomat delivered the position while presenting India's national address during the high-level UN General Assembly segment marking forty years since the Declaration on the Right to Development was established.
Highlighting the intervention on X, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal posted, “Secretary (West) Sibi George delivered India’s National Statement at the High-level segment of the UN General Assembly to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to Development. He reaffirmed India’s commitment to inclusive development, international cooperation and multilateral reform, and supported the early adoption of the Covenant on the Right to Development.”
As outlined within official United Nations documentation, the Declaration establishes development as an inalienable human right, guaranteeing every citizen and society the prerogative to engage in, contribute towards, and benefit from comprehensive economic, social, cultural, and political advancement.
Reflecting on the milestone, the UN noted, “Since its adoption, the Declaration has guided national and international efforts to advance sustainable development, poverty eradication, social inclusion and international cooperation. While the last four decades have seen significant progress in improving living standards, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty and expanding access to education and health care, progress remains uneven.” (ANI)
