Human Rights and the Environment - Online Petition

     In the past Amnesty International has partnered with environmental groups (such as Friends of the Earth and the Center for International Environment Law) to document the impact of environmental and human rights violations.  According to Dr. Orellana, "environmental protection is essential to the full enjoyment of all human rights" and that the right to a healthy environment must be recognized to address the global ecological and poverty crisis confronting humanity and the planet.
