Which one of the following is not an International Human Rights Treaty?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Declaration on the Right to Development (1986) is not an international human rights treaty; rather, it is a United Nations General Assembly resolution of a programmatic and aspirational nature [2]. Unlike treaties, which are legally binding on state parties, this declaration serves as a catalyst for integrating development into the human rights agenda [2]. In contrast, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities are recognized as core international human rights treaties. These treaties establish formal committees of experts to monitor implementation by state parties, a mechanism not applicable to the 1986 Declaration.
