 INTRODUCTION
Human rights are rights we have simply because we exist as human beings - they are
not granted by any state.

These universal rights are inherent to us all, regardless of nationality, sex, national or
ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status.

They range from the most fundamental - the right to life - to those that make life
worth living, such as the rights to food, education, work, health, and liberty.
Human rights have Several environmental issues

closely linked

 These include the equitable distribution of

environmental resources, the utilization of
resources and Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs),
conflicts between people and wild-life especially
around PAs,
 resettlement issues around development projects
such as dams and mines, and access to health to
prevent environment related diseases.

standards of human dignity.
