A new consensus emerged in Vienna at the Second UN World Conference on Human Rights in 1993, which even the United States supported. 12 The Vienna Declaration reaffirmed "the right to development, as established in the Declaration, as a universal and inalienable right and an integral part of fundamental human rights." 13 It also committed the international community to the obligation to cooperate in order to realize these rights. Thus the right to development was recognized as a human right, which intergrated economic, social, and cultural rights with civil and political rights in the manner that was envisaged at the beginning of the post-World War II human rights movement. The world got back, so to speak, to the mainstream of the human rights movement from which it was deflected for several decades by Cold War international politics. As a result of this consensus, there is no more room for promoting one set of rights as against another, or putting forward some rights, such as economic and social, to be fulfilled prior to or in violation of civil and political rights, or vice versa. All rights have to be fulfilled together and the violation of one would be as offensive as that of another. The international community, instead, has moved on to examine the question of implementation of those rights as a part of the right to development and ensuring the realization of the right to development has become a major concern of the member Governments of the United Nations. A number of working groups of experts were established to identify the obstacles to the implementation of the right to development and to recommend ways and means to the realization of that right. They also proposed a global strategy involving the United Nations and its agencies, states' parties, and civil society.
