Interdependent, indivisible and interrelated human rights: A political and historical investigation.
Whelan, Daniel J.

Interdependent, indivisible and interrelated human rights: A political and historical investigation. - 347 p.

Adviser: Jack Donnelly.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Denver, 2006.

The principle that different categories of human rights are "interdependent, indivisible, and interrelated" is held nearly universally. However, beyond works demonstrating the instrumental functional interdependency between rights, there is very little written about the broader political and historical development of the rhetoric of the indivisibility of human rights. To fill this lacuna, this dissertation explores the relationships between the "grand categories" of civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights, using indivisibility as a conceptual centerpiece.

520 $a The principle that different categories of human rights are "interdependent, indivisible, and interrelated" is held nearly universally. However, beyond works demonstrating the instrumental functional interdependency between rights, there is very little written about the broader political and historical development of the rhetoric of the indivisibility of human rights. To fill this lacuna, this dissertation explores the relationships between the "grand categories" of civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights, using indivisibility as a conceptual centerpiece.
520 $a The dissertation first examines several proposals and processes---most of them from the United States and predating the U.N.---which led to the inclusion of economic, social and cultural rights alongside civil and political rights in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Second, it explores the politics of translating the Universal Declaration into international law from 1949-1952. This includes the initial decision to include economic, social and cultural rights alongside civil and political rights in the then-single draft Covenant; the process of drafting those rights and measures of implementation; and the U.N.'s decision to draft two separate treaties in 1952. The third substantive chapter explores shifts in the rhetoric of indivisibility from the late 1960s through the 1980s, and the eventual prioritization of economic, social and cultural rights as crucial to the elaboration of a "right to development" as an inalienable, indivisible part of international human rights. The last substantive chapter explores contemporary interpretations of the rhetoric of indivisibility, especially in terms of the legal nature of economic, social and cultural rights and the application of a "violations approach" for holding governments and other institutions accountable for problems of underdevelopment and poverty.
520 $a The dissertation explores these episodes by carefully scrutinizing summary records of meetings and processes of drafting and amending resolutions within several key U.N. bodies, examining in addition how scholars and practitioners have interpreted the concept of indivisibility during each period. Throughout, the dissertation pays close attention especially to what the rhetoric of indivisibility might tell us about the political, economic and social institutions necessary for the realization of all human rights in the contemporary world.
