One of the highest priorities of international development is to reduce poverty. In recent years, the definition of poverty has evolved together with a better understanding of the nature of poverty itself and its underlying determinants. Human rights provide a normative framework in which vulnerable groups are empowered and recognized as principal actors and subjects of law. They are not merely perceived as victims. Empowerment of the poor develops another dimension of poverty since empowerment is the expansion of assets and capabilities of poor people to participate in, negotiate with, influence, control, and hold accountable institutions that affect their lives UN (1997)
In 1990, the World Bank’s World Development Report gave a key role to poverty reduction in development by integrating in its definition of poverty not only low income, but also capabilities such as health, education and nutrition, and by stressing the interactions among these dimensions. History tells us how people have had to fight for their rights. The cornerstone in this struggle has always been political activism and people’s movement’s national liberation movements, peasants movements, women’s movements, movements for the rights of indigenous people. Often, the desire of people to be free and to enjoy their rights started the struggle. At the beginning of the 20th century a scant 10% of the world’s people lived in independent nations. By its end the great majority lived in freedom, making their own choices. Alston (2002) described The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 as a breakthrough, ushering in a new era with the world community taking on realization of human rights as a matter of common concern and a collective goal of humanity. In tackling this question of empowerment process, the empowerment process will be assessed whether the process that is derived from human rights that can bring about development.
Indeed, human rights provide a framework for poverty eradication
