Abstract: The Millennium Development Goals are an operationalization of the right to development. In this article we scan the history of the right to development and the main criticisms that were brought to it. We show that these criticisms have largely been answered. However, three major issues remain largely open: people participation, the right of indigenous peoples and the right to a healthy environment. The particularity of these three issues is to open a debate between inalienable individual right and collective right.
