True justice involves understanding and resolving the root causes of suffering and inequality.

Olivier De Schutter is a #Belgian legal scholar specialising in economic and social rights. He is a professor of international #humanrights law, #EuropeanUnion law, and legal theory at the University of Louvain in Belgium, as well as at the College of Europe and at Sciences Po in Paris. He has regularly contributed to the American University #Washington College of Law Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law. On May 1, 2020, he was appointed as the #UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. Four years later, De Schutter submitted a report to the United Nations that warns humanity’s obsession with growth is enriching elites and killing the planet. We need an economy based on human rights, the report argues. It goes on to say economic growth allows the few to grow ever wealthier and that ending poverty and environmental catastrophe demands fresh thinking. Here is the introduction to that report: The dominant approach to the fight against poverty relies on increasing the aggregate output of the economy (measured as the gross domestic product), combined with post-market redistribution through taxes and transfers. The Special Rapporteur argues, however, that the current focus on increasing the gross domestic product ia misguided. An increase in gross domestic product is not a precondition for the realisation of human rights or for combating poverty and inequalities. The ideology of “growthism” should not become a distraction from the urgent need both to provide more of the goods and services that enhance well-being and bto reduce the production of what is unnecessary or even toxic. As long as the economy is driven mainly by profit maximisation, it will respond to the demand expressed by the richest groups of society, leading to extractive forms of production that worsen social exclusion in the name of creating more wealth, and it will fail to fulfill the rights of those in poverty. Moving from an economy driven by the search for maximising profits to a human rights economy is possible and, to remain within planetary boundaries, necessary. In the present report, the Special Rapporteur explains why this shift is needed and what it could look like. Growth And Conventional Wisdom Writing in The #Guardian, De Schutter puts his report in plain language. He says conventional wisdom is that economic growth will bring prosperity to all. This mantra has guided the decision making of the vast majority of politicians, economists, and even human rights bodies for generations. Yet the reality is that while poverty eradication has historically been promised through the “trickling down” or “redistribution” of wealth, economic growth largely “gushes up” to a privileged few. 🔻🔻🔻 Click/tap image below to see video on YouTube 🔻🔻🔻
