(Resolution adopted at the
third plenary session, held on June 5, 2001)
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
CONSIDERING that the international
community continues to discuss the importance of the possible link between human
rights and environmental protection, as expressed in the 1972 Declaration of the
United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm Declaration), the
1989 Hague Declaration, the 1992 United Nations Declaration on Environment and
Development (Rio Declaration), and other international instruments on the
subject;
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT
the work done in this field by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and
the Economic and Social Council; and
BEARING IN MIND
the human rights enshrined in the American Convention on Human Rights and in
other human rights instruments, in particular the Additional Protocol to the
American Convention on Human Rights in the Area of Economic, Social, and
Cultural Rights, “Protocol of San Salvador”; and
That the effective
enjoyment of all human rights, including the right to education and the rights
of assembly and freedom of expression, as well as full enjoyment of economic,
social, and cultural rights, could foster better environmental protection by
creating conditions conducive to modification of behavior patterns that lead to
environmental degradation, reduction of the environmental impact of poverty and
of patterns of unsustainable development, more effective dissemination of
information on this issue, and more active participation in political processes
by groups affected by the problem,
RESOLVES:
1.To
underscore the importance of studying the link that may exist between the
environment and human rights, recognizing the need to promote environmental
protection and the effective enjoyment of all human rights.
2.To request
the General Secretariat to conduct, in collaboration with other organs of the
inter-American system, a study of the possible interrelationship of
environmental protection and the effective enjoyment of human rights.
3.To instruct
the Secretary General to report to the General Assembly at its thirty-second
regular session on the implementation of this resolution.
