@UN_HRC @UNHumanRights @UNSRdevelopment @ONUGinebraEC As #RightToDevelopment and respect for human rights are mutually reinforcing rather than competing, @WGBizHRs Vice-Chair Fernanda Hopenhaym shares how human rights due diligence is not a box-ticking requirement, but an essential tool for ensuring responsible business conduct.
The @GENetwork is at the 14th session of #EMRTD, as it celebrates the 40th anniversary of the UN Declaration on #RightToDevelopment. This morning's thematic discussion focuses on businesses and RTD in the age of mandatory human rights due diligence.

Africa rising! This is not just Zimbabwe - this is the whole Global South demanding justice. Crushing debt, unfair financial system must fall. President Mnangagwa speaking truth to power at UNGA81 in New York! NDS2 is about people!
🌍🇿🇼 #RightToDevelopment #GlobalSouth
NDS2 🇿🇼 DEVELOPMENT IS A RIGHT — AND ZIMBABWE IS SPEAKING UP.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa addressed a high-level UN meeting in New York marking 40 years of the Declaration on the Right to Development, calling attention to the need for a fairer global development system.
The message comes as UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns that developing countries face crushing debt and an unequal international financial architecture.
For Zimbabweans, fairer global financing can mean greater access to affordable development finance, more investment in infrastructure, stronger climate resilience, expanded economic opportunities and faster progress towards sustainable development.
Zimbabwe is using the UN platform to push for equitable development, international cooperation and a global financial system that gives developing countries greater room to build their economies.
🇿🇼 Development must reach people. No nation should be left behind.
