This title was first published in 2003. Environmental Human Rights
redefines the political, ethical and legal relationships between
the environment and human rights to claim the human rights to an
environment free from toxic pollution and to natural resources.
Through a focus on the operational dynamics of social power, this
compelling book details how global capitalism subjugates concerns
of human security and environmental protection to the values of
allocative efficiency and economic growth. The capacity of social
power to construct ethical norms and to determine the efficacy of
law is examined to explain how ethical and legal concepts have been
selectively applied to accommodate existing patterns of production,
consumption and exchange that cause environmental degradation and
human rights violations. By looking at how environmental values
have been systematically excluded from the human rights discourse,
the book claims that human rights politics and law has been
constructed on double standards to accommodate the destructive
forces of capitalism.
