Abstract
Many of the most challenging bioethical questions of our time address interactions between human health and the environment. In the past few decades awareness of the damaging effects of environmental pollution on human beings and their quality of life has increased dramatically. We have a fundamental right to breathe clean air, drink clean water and eat safe food. The idea of environmental human rights is receiving growing attention worldwide, driven by our global ecological crisis. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of the right to a healthy environment from bioethic interpretation. The deterioration of the environment affects the right to life, health, work and education, among other rights. Moreover, environmental degradation caused by economic activities is often accompanied by and related to violations of civil and political rights, including lack of public access to information, citizen participation, freedom of speech and association. Creating a framework of principles and procedures in accordance with the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, to guide States in the formulation of bio-laws, policies or other instruments in the field of bioethics, legislation to protect and promote the interests of present and future generations and to emphasize the importance of biodiversity and its conservation as part of the common heritage of humanity.
