Human Rights Cities Responding to Poverty and Inequalities Full Paper
#HumanRightsBasedApproach #Poverty #Inequality
Jose Cuesta [Lead Economist, Social Sustainability and Inclusion Global Practice, The World Bank]
Thank you very much for inviting me to participate in this important conference on HRE. I am honored to be able to participate although I must apologize for not being there in person. Talking of poverty, inequality and human rights is always a sobering and challenging exercise where we need to exert a lot of careful balance between good and bad news.

-So, if we know what to do and cannot do or are not effective in doing it, it must be then a question of lack of sufficient political consensus or sufficient resources (technical, human or financial). The main obstacle to advancing into a HRE is, in my humble view, not an issue of knowledge but an issue of capacity and commitment. IT IS NOT ABOUT WHAT TO DO BUT HOW TO DO IT!
