Author:Aron Sachs
Date:1995
Description:This paper provides a graphic examination of how human rights are inextricably bound together, protraying the high human costs of environmental degredation. It also reveals that the most common victims of environmental and human rights abuses are impoverished minorities who already face societal discrimination, and who have limited resources for mounting protests.
