Abstract

The concept of human rights has long been an integral part of global discourse, championed as a fundamental pillar of social justice and equity. In recent decades, the intersection of human rights, global health, and sustainable development has emerged as a critical area of concern and opportunity. This research paper delves into the dynamic intersection of human rights, global health, and sustainable development, with a particular focus on Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) - Good Health and Well-Being. In the context of our rapidly changing world, by applying a multidisciplinary research method, this paper explores the evolving landscape of human rights preservation and the challenges posed by emerging global governance issues. By examining the role of law in promoting and safeguarding human rights within the framework of SDG 3, it offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolving global governance challenge in the quest for a healthier and more sustainable world.

Abstract

Anthropocentric and eco-centric are the two existing philosophical views on protecting the environment. The latter emphasises environmental protection for its intrinsic value, while the former is human-centred. This paper explores the relationship between promoting human rights and protecting the environment by arguing that the anthropocentric approach, which places humanity at its centre and is grounded in utilitarianism theory, can be a valuable tool in bridging these two areas. According to utilitarianism, achieving all fundamental human rights will contribute to raising environmental standards. Hitherto, the anthropocentric approach has been regarded to be only advantageous to humans, but in reality, it has a positive which mutually reinforces the effect on both the environment and humans. Humans will naturally turn their attention to environmental protection after they obtain all rights to meet a standard life. In the pursuit of environmental justice, humans will endeavour to improve their surroundings sustainably while upholding their fundamental rights. Through this relationship, a rights-based approach and environmental protection mechanisms are established, allowing individuals to seek redress for any kind of environmental harm as a distinct category of human rights. In conclusion, by establishing a distinct environmental-human right and tying it to human rights, environmental protection can be realised more practically.

Abstract

This study investigates how legal and policy frameworks in Delhi and Lahore address the right of children to a clean and healthy environment. It explores the extent to which urban environmental governance in South Asia responds to the unique vulnerabilities of children living in cities affected by persistent smog and air pollution. These environmental hazards are closely linked to long term respiratory illness, cognitive impairment, and early mortality. Despite binding commitments under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, both India and Pakistan continue to fall short in translating international obligations into domestic protections for children exposed to urban environmental harm. While earlier research has highlighted the health impacts of air pollution, this article contributes to the literature by evaluating how national laws, regulatory frameworks, and institutional responses incorporate or overlook children’s environmental rights. Using doctrinal legal research and comparative policy analysis, the study analyses statutory instruments, regulatory standards, and international human rights norms relevant to environmental protection in Delhi and Lahore. Findings demonstrate that existing legal regimes lack child specific environmental protections and do not impose clear duties on authorities to prevent or respond to pollution related health risks. Weak enforcement, fragmented institutions, and the absence of child centred accountability mechanisms contribute to systemic neglect. The article proposes a new legal approach that embeds child sensitive principles into environmental governance, including targeted legislation, enforceable pollution controls, and emergency health measures. This research advances scholarship on human rights and environmental law in the Global South by offering a normative and practical framework to reimagine state obligations. It highlights the need to shift from general environmental regulation to rights-based protections that prioritise the health and dignity of children in urban climate and pollution governance.

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of marine plastic pollution on small-scale fishers in Asia-Pacific countries and how the existing international law accommodates this problem. The research method used is doctrinal legal research with a statute approach and case approach using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analysed with descriptive analytical techniques. The results show that Asia-Pacific is the most significant contributor to marine plastic pollution in the world as a region at the centre of the world's economic growth. The fisheries industry is one of the economic sectors that is the mainstay of countries in the Asia-Pacific, such as Indonesia, Australia, and China, because it contributes to a high Gross Domestic Product and becomes a job for small-scale fishers. However, marine plastic pollution is a problem because it contaminates fish, impacting fishermen's productivity. This has eliminated the rights of fishermen, especially the small-scale fisher, to obtain decent work and the right to an adequate standard of living. Meanwhile, the existing international law has yet to accommodate the plastic waste problem in the Asia-Pacific Ocean explicitly, so there is legal uncertainty that regulates this problem. This research concluded that the issue of marine plastic pollution in the Asia-Pacific must be handled seriously by formulating an agreement between countries in the region that contains more technical and specific arrangements to maintain the rights of small-scale fishers in obtaining decent work and adequate living standards.

Abstract

The policy of transitioning to simultaneous elections in 2024 in Indonesia has given rise to polemics regarding human rights and democracy. There is no justification for the government to disregard citizens' civil and political rights in appointing interim regional heads. This research seeks to examine the phenomenon of the appointment of interim regional heads as an integral part of fulfilling citizens' civil and political rights. By using normative juridical or legal doctrinal research methods, this research demonstrates that the process of appointing interim regional heads is problematic. The government only relies on one regulation while ignoring the others, such as government and non-governmental organizations' recommendations. As a result, the appointment of interim regional heads appears less democratic, potentially leading to actions taken behind closed doors without involving public participation. This indicates that the centralized appointment of interim regional heads is more politically driven than merely focused on effectiveness and efficiency.
