This article addresses a number of conceptual issues guiding the development of a human rights-based approach to state fragility. An initial section sets out the methodological assumptions underlying the study, and locates it with reference to international human rights law and the ‘Principles on Good International Engagement in Fragile States and Situations’ drawn up by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. This is followed by a review of key elements in the evolution of human rights standards and practice in relation to governance and state-building, particularly through their application in human rights-based approaches to development and human security. A programmatic framework for the role of international actors in the task of state-building in fragile settings is elaborated, focusing on three main elements: ensuring protection and security to individuals and communities; supporting the development of a culture of democratic governance; and strengthening the capacity for equitable access to essential public services.
