From the Inuit Petition to the Teitiota Case: Human Rights and Success in Climate Litigation

In: Proceedings of the ASIL Annual Meeting, Band 114, S. 86-86

Abstract

Daniel Magraw emphasized the human rights turn in climate litigation. There is a well-established relationship between human rights and the environment, and it is now generally acknowledged that a healthy environment is necessary for the enjoyment of a vast array of human rights. Importantly, environmental harm—including climate change—interferes with human rights.
