01:13:23 Q&A with the moderator and the audience
The tortuous relationship between economics and human rights was already on the mind of participants in the Vienna Conference 30 years ago. Amongst others, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action stressed the fulfillment of the right to development "so as to meet equitably the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations" as well as the need to "help alleviate the external debt burden of developing countries". It is accordingly hardly surprising that the relationship between international human rights law and international economic law has captured the interest of both researchers and practitioners to an ever larger extent. Whether it is trade law, international investment law or international finance and monetary law: every area of international economic law affects the enjoyment and full realization of human rights. This conference proposed a stock-taking of the full breadth of the relationship between international economic law and international human rights law and inquired to what extent the relationship should no longer just be conceptualized as one of regime conflict, but whether human rights can be turned into a vehicle to resolve and addressed particularly problematic issues raised in the area of international economic law.
