Procedural rights Essential to the implementation of and compliance with substantive rights, procedural rights play an important role in the development of an RBA to conservation. Procedural Rights include: Access to information Participation in decision making Access to justice/judicial review Due process/fair hearing Substantive redress Nointerference with international petition (where applicable)

Conservation activities can undermine the substantive rights of poorer people and communities. Ensuring the protection of procedural rights - such as rights to information, participation, and access to justice produces decisions favourable to environmental protection and reinforces respect for human rights, the rule of law and good governance, by encouraging the integration of democratic values and the promotion of the rule of law in broad-based structures of governance. RBA empowers people to understand, claim and exercise their procedural rights [2] Principle 10 of the 1992 Rio Declaration of Environment and Development (Rio de Janeiro, 14 June 1992) states that access to information, public participation in decision making, and access to effective judicial and administrative proceedings, including redress and remedy, shall be guaranteed because environmental issues are best handled with the participation of all concerned citizens, at the relevant level. The Convention on access to information, public participation in decision making and access to justice in environmental matters (Aarhus Convention, Aarhus, 25 June 1998) also establishes procedural rights as a means to fulfill substantive rights. _____________________ Substantive rights Substantive Rights include: Nondiscrimination and equal protection of the law Right to life Prohibition of force and child labour Freedom of movement and residence Right to privacy and home life Right to property Freedom of religion Right to an adequate standard of living (food, medicine, clothing, housing, water) Cultural rights Minority rights Right to safe and healthy working conditions Freedom of assembly and expression/opinion Right to health Right to self-determination of peoples (controversial) Right to a certain quality of environment (controversial; certain aspects of this right have a global consensus, such as safe drinking water and nutritious food).

The foundation for linking human rights and environmental protection in law comes from Principle 1 of the United Nations Declaration on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 16 June 1972) which declared that Man has the fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being. The necessity of environmental protection to the enjoyment of human rights has also been recognized by various international human rights bodies and treaties.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights for example states that severe environmental pollution is inconsistent with the right to be respected as a human being [1]. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (New York, 16 December 1966) guarantees the right to safe and healthy working environment (Article 7 b), and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (New York, 20 November 1989) speaks of a childs right to health and to be free from work harmful to their health. At the regional level, the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Banjul, 26 June 1981) recognises that "All peoples shall have the right to a general satisfactory environment favorable to their development" (Article 24). Article 11 of the Additional Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights in the area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (San Salvador, 17 November 1988) and Article 38 of the Revised Arab Charter on Human Rights (Tunis, 22 May 2004) provide for the right to a safe and healthy environment. However, there is no recognition of a substantive human right to a clean environment in international law.
