A Reflection on the Effects of Regulatory Governments on the Right to Sustainable Development

Despite the introduction of "sustainable development" as a suitable framework for development in the last three decades and the positive reaction of many governments to it, there is a question whether regulatory governments, do strengthen the right of people to sustainable development or put challenges and obstacles in front of it?In this research, we have examined how neoliberal principles and policies governing regulatory governments, such as market competition, privatization, deregulation, trade liberalization, foreign investment, export-oriented production, and growth-oriented development, has created obstacles in front of sustainable development. and therefore distorts the right of people to benefit from sustainable development.For this purpose, we have used the analytical-descriptive method and proposed that the creation of new international institutions to strengthen the binding of environmental treaties, to adopt policies that lead to the reduction of poverty and inequality, and also to establish The new taxes that are collected in exchange for the destruction of the environment in the course of economic development, may help to heal the current situation.
