In their Capability approach the individual, with the entitlement to human rights and capabilities, gained the central position to which previous paradigms had been oblivious. The relationship between human rights and development has shifted from strong interrelation to coexistence without contact. Human development has now shifted back to a strong recognition of the significance of a human rights perspective. (Less)
