Abstract
The fracture between developed and developing states, emerged by unequal distribution of the riches of the earth in the last century, reflects the specifics of international development law. International development law is a means of regulating which allows  states to choose their political, social and economic organization within the legal framework of sovereign equality and independence, and takestep towards development. International development law has played a key role in shaping and strengthening main concepts of international law. Each of these concepts deals with the highest human values on its own. What is logically considered is that power in international community must be shifted in favor of justice. It is obvious that in some cases this movement has paved the way for the realization of such an ideal, and in other cases it stopped in the middle of the road due to the special structure of the international society or has changed its path to power again and failed to reach global solidarity. This paper focuses on clarifying the image of justice as a failed issue in international relations, then by considering the declaration of the right to development conclude that the international community is determined to center development on human being while making the content of this development evolve law according to the altering status of international society.
