« The right to live, which includes but is broader than the traditional concept of the right of life, as recognized in the relevant international instruments . . . is the source of and serves the basis for all human rights. But since human life – which implies awareness of life itself – can exist only in an appropriate environment, the right to live, which is both an individual and a collective right of all individuals […] gives rise to the right of a healthly and ecologically balanced environment. […] [T]he right to live and the right to a healthy environment have taken on a crucial role and are the basis for all of human rights law and humanitarian law. »
