Abstract

This chapter explores linkages and gaps between core notions in the context of public procurement of infrastructure in the frame of sustainable development that leaves no one behind, which includes a human rights lens. It first explores the relevance of public procurement in infrastructure, in as much as states are main spenders but also businesses are raising their involvement through PPP procurement schemes. This chapter unpacks the linkages between the tripartite human rights obligations of states and public procurement. It establishes the multiple connections between sustainable public procurement and identifies the relationship between human rights and infrastructure. The latter involves a dilemma in which lacking infrastructure undermines human rights, but current developments of infrastructure without people at the core center have ultimately led to human rights harm.
