In accordance with the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles signed by the Heads of Government in Singapore in 1971, ‘the Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of independent sovereign states, each responsible for its own policies, consulting and co-operating in the common interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace’. As also indicated in this Declaration, ‘international peace and order are essential to the security and prosperity of mankind’. Since the inception of the Human Rights Council in 2006 part of the international community, with the exception of the Group of Eastern and Western European and Others States, has been actively engaged in the promotion of the right of peoples to peace through the adoption of several resolutions. Although most of the Commonwealth States have supported the ongoing process, some of them have not recognized the existence of the right to peace under international law. In particular, the Western countries of this association have constantly showed their opposition to this UN process (i.e. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and United Kingdom and Northern Ireland) by arguing that this notion is not correctly linked to human rights. The purpose of this paper is to analyze this debate by taking into account the position showed by this group of States. Additionally, the linkage between the right to life and peace will be also studied in light of some constitutional legal systems and Commonwealth instruments on human rights. Finally, the paper will propose the notion of the right to life in a context of peace, human rights and development as a means to overcome the political differences among all regional groups and to elaborate this notion in the context of the current mandate of the Human Rights Council in the field of human rights.
