Environment and Human Rights

Good government, healthy environment, sufficient resources at disposal and willingness on the part of both the government and the people are the requisites for healthy and full enjoyment of human rights by the people. In the reverse case, discontent, poor health and safety, inadequate resources to fulfil people's needs and violation of basic human rights will be the result. By adopting certain measures, controls, strategies and effectively managing the environmental conditions, natural resources, and protecting people, the government will be able to fulfil the needs of the people. <br><br> -Human Rights- is an attempt to look into impact of environmental changes on parks, reserves, biodiversity, protected areas, human welfare, women and forests, tourism, cultural survival, repatriation, peace, safety, health, urbanisation, hazards, etc., as well as effect of control, management and effective utilisation of these resources on environment so that basic human rights are not violated. Making detailed study into some of these areas, the book specifically suggests measures for the protection of human rights. <br><br> The book will of immense utility to students, teachers, scholars, environmentalists, human rights organisations and general readers.
