Abstract

Development in international law has been propounded in the forms of economic development and human development. Achieving sustainable and comprehensive development in energy law requires policies which may bring forward economic development alongside human rights.  In the context of international energy law, developing countries in order to achieving economic development ignore environmental principals which can subsequently lead to destruction of environment. These effects are against human rights. While energy strategies should respect environmental principals and increase human access to energy. The issue here is that in what ways the governments especially the developing countries should trace their energy law processes to achieve the both aspects of development? The study shows developing countries should change their paradigms. These states should apply strategies which prepare the primary grounds and capacities of economic development in a way that make them able to provide the preliminary substantial needs of the country. Subsequently by approaching the least measure of development, the energy policies must trace in a way that besides achieving economic development by increasing access to energy services, provide human development and other instances of human rights.
