HRBA in four critical sentences
Who has been left out? Why?

OUTCOME
All programmes of development co-operation, policies and technical
assistance should further the realization of human rights as laid
down in the UDHR and other international human rights
instruments
Human rights standards and principles guide all development
cooperation and programming in all sectors and phases of the
programming process
Development cooperation contributes to the development of the
capacities of ‘duty-bearers’ to meet their obligations and/or of
‘rights-holders’ to claim their rights
