Human rights and the environment

Chapter III concerns other aspects of the relationship between human rights and the environment. Chapters IV and V analyse the impact of the environment on vulnerable groups and on the enjoyment of fundamental rights. In chapter VI, the Special Rapporteur sets out her conclusions and recommendations. The annexes contain a draft declaration of principles on human rights and the environment, an overview of consultations with nongovernmental organizations and a summary of national legislation and practices compiled by the Special Rapporteur, essentially on the basis of replica by governments.
