Human Rights and Sustainability: Moral responsibilities for the future (Routledge Studies in Sustainability) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The history of human rights suggests that individuals should be empowered in their natural, political, political, social and economic vulnerabilities. This book develops the idea of environmental obligations as long-term responsibilities in the context of human rights. It proposes that human rights require recognition that, in the face of unsustainable conduct, future human persons are exposed and vulnerable. It explores the obstacles for long-term responsibilities that human rights law provides at the level of international and national law and challenges the question of whether lifestyle restrictions are enforceable in view of liberties and levels of wellbeing typically seen as protected by human rights.
