Abstract

The exercise of development as a right is a political and normative platform that has been discussed for decades in the international arena. The global eruption of anti-corruption measures did not fail to touch this debate. The result is the recognition by various international instruments of the adverse effects of corruption on development, and the emergence of human rights approaches to corruption that reaffirm it as a practice that violates human rights and undermines the exercise of the right to development. The present study high lights the relationship among development, human rights and corruption, breaking down this correlation based on the joint analysis between the HDI and the CPI. The recent Brazilian context is taken as a parameter to investigate to what extent anti-corruption actions can effectively guarantee better development and human rights effectiveness and vice versa.
