THE ROLE OF ADR IN THE REALIZATION OF SOCIOECONOMIC RIGHTS
Abstract
The Brundtland Report, which was authored by a group of international politicians, government officials, and environmental and development specialists, transformed the idea of sustainable development from one focused on physical concerns to one based on social, economic, and environmental concerns.1
As a result, this study provided the commonly cited justification that "sustainable development" meets current demands without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. To start, the term "sustainable" refers to any action that may be continued eternally, but the term "development" can either refer to a specific activity or our idea of socioeconomic activities as a whole.
Of course, society as a whole is our primary concern, but according to the logic of sustainable development, individual economic activities must also be structured as sustainably as feasible.2 It is also important to keep in mind that the idea of sustainable development encompasses not only economic activity itself but also the procedures in charge of putting it into action and controlling it. While its political viability depends on the complete support of the people it touches through their governments, social and legal institutions, as well as their private activities, its successful execution necessitates integrated policy planning and social learning procedures, and social legal innovation.
