In terms of international awareness, the connection between human rights and Environmental protection is steadily grown significantly, given that environmental protection became an important issue on the international agenda. Over the years, environmental legislation has evolved being involved in human rights and recognizing the fundamental rights in relation to the environment. A considerable number of legal instruments at international, regional and national levels have been approved and established specialized bodies to respond to problems identified in human rights and environmental protection. Environmental instruments increasingly include protection of human rights and principles, including the specific procedural rights such as access to information and access to justice and the principles of implementation. At the same time, the development of environmental norms has affected human rights. This paper highlights some of the developments that have occurred at the international, regional and national levels in recognition of the link between the protection of the natural environment and human rights and the impact that they have in achieving the aims of each other.
