| dc.description.abstract | The protection of human rights and the environment are interrelated. This is so in view of the fact that the protection of one leads to the protection of the other. Therefore, protecting the environment is sinquanon to the realization of basic human rights. Although there may not be express provision in most national law recognizing right to environment; however courts have been able to include the right to a healthful environment in the interpretation of some basic rights. It is on this premise that this paper intends to investigate into judicial interpretation of the correlation between the protection of human rights and the environment. | en_US |
