Diplôme Master Do human rights and environmental law contradict each other? eng 2019 author Duella Nitya 806397 director Schultz Thomas 0000-0003-3731-2692 106642 Climate change is recognised today as an irrefutable threat to human development. However, in the face of this threat, countries have yet to respond with the urgency required, often citing the tradeoff between economic prosperity and the safeguarding of human rights and environmental protection efforts. By examining the place that human rights occupy in international environmental treaties and the philosophical foundations of human rights, this paper first seeks to determine whether these two fields of law find themselves in opposition. This paper then provides interpretations for reconciling the interactions between human rights and international environmental law International Human Rights Law Universal Declaration of Human Rights Foundations of Human Rights International Environmental Law Stockholm Convention Rio Declaration Deep ecology Dewey 340 5 Faculté de droit 5 false 3b38d2bb-2e30-48b8-b3f6-a5327e9bc651 Master thesis Public Master_Thesis.pdf 476266 application/pdf openAccess Faculté de droit
