Human Rights and Basic Needs

Paul Streeten

Chapter 20 in Development Perspectives, 1981, pp 366-373 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Is the satisfaction of basic needs a human right? Are minimum levels of nutrition, health and education among the most fundamental human rights? Is there a human right not to be hungry? Or are human rights themselves basic needs? Are there basic needs other than material needs which embrace human rights? Does the respect for rights and the satisfaction of needs go together or can there be conflict?
