Human Rights, Environment, and Economic Development: Existing and Emerging Standards in International Law and Global Society
| Author: | Greg Maggio et al |
| Description: | This paper aims to identify on a preliminary basis, international laws, legal principles and other normative standards for the ECO to use in its review of controversies involving the aforementioned elements. It places particular emphasis on emerging connections between international human rights and environmental law. Other related and often overlapping laws and normative standards concerning economic, social, and cultural development are also identified and analyzed.
In addition to providing the Environmental Ombudsman Function (ECO) with an overview of existing and emerging normative standards to consider when addressing its presumed mandate, this paper also seeks to provide a reference point for subsequent research and analysis regarding the ECO's functions.
