- A new international treaty, the Pact for the Right to Development, is being drafted at the UN Human Rights Council Working Group.
- The basic premise of the Pact is a formal commitment by states to engage in the construction of universal and possibly widespread prosperity.
- The Pact's noble principles may remain unrealized, and instead it may become the basis for the creation of a "new order" in which stronger states impose their vision of morality, social and economic relations on weaker ones.
- The Pact implies, among other things, the obligation to legalize abortion, total and general disarmament and the construction of an "inclusive society," that is, in essence, a multicultural one.
- The Ordo Iuris Institute has prepared an analysis on the subject.
