This article examines efforts to strengthen human rights, especially at the Bangkok Conference of 1993, and discusses the conflict between traditional Western views of human rights as individual rights, as opposed to the idea of collective rights. In this context, the author analyzes the debate over the right to development vigorously espoused at Bangkok and the concern of some Western governments that this might undermine the concept of individual human rights. He argues that an interpretation of the right to development as a collective right is compatible with the individualist tradition of human rights and urges further dialogue so as to recognize different views on what constitutes a dignified life
