Environmental law and human rights
Sunday 5 November (1200 - 1330)

Description
In this session, we will take a look at the relationship between human rights and environmental law. These two issues are closely connected because human rights can only be guaranteed within a habitable environment. Hence, we must work to understand how environmental protection can be included in human rights related projects.
