Summary:

A high quality environment is coming to be regarded as a necessary prerequisite for the enjoyment of some of the most fundamental human rights, including the rights to life and health. However, the precise recognition of a 'right to environment' has not yet been settled. The essays collected here address this and related questions from different perspectives.
