Human rights and environmental protection in what way(s) can the right to economic and social development collide with the right to a healthy environment?

Abstract

Human rights frequently collide and intertwine. Therefore, in this paper we consider the way the collision of human rights to economic development and human rights to a healthy environment. This essay will argue that the right to a healthy environment and right to economic development can be compatible, but this requires sustainability of society, economy, and politics. Before we will know in what ways these rights may collide, we will look at what those rights are guaranteed, after let us examine the examples of how these rights can harm each other or exist peacefully with each other.
