The Right to Benefit from the Healthy Environment

The legal support of human rights has increasingly acted as a means to protect the environment. Rights such as the right to live, the right for political participation, personal freedom, equality and the right for legal refund all are legal means which guarantee the protection of the environment. The socio-economical rights including the right to benefit from hygiene, proper life conditions and the right to work in a proper working place can domestically and internationally be effective in developing the environment right.During the three decades after the Stockholm Conference Declaration in 1972, the first principle of the mentioned conference has been assessed.While the arrangement of this principle includes a right for the environment related both to human rights and protection of the environment as a major goal and a means for reaching the proper life conditions in an environment offering the prosperous and glorious life, no human rights treaty in the international domain has ever mentioned the environment right as a definite principle. On the other hand there are nonobligatory documents which refer to the environment protection as the environment right with the special quality.
