Abstract

This article argues that parliaments can play a significant role in protecting environment-related human rights, and that NGOs should encourage this, while mindful of the potential limitations of such involvement. While some parliaments already make a contribution to the protection of environment-related human rights (examples are included in this paper), improvements could be made and more parliaments could become engaged. The paper outlines the benefits for NGOs of focusing action on parliaments rather than on other governance sites.
