John H. Knox, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment, recently issued a final report to the U.N. Human Rights Council. The report, which contains 16 Framework Principles on Human Rights and the Environment, summarizes international environmental human rights obligations. These principles outline state obligations relating to the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. Knox derived these principles from pertinent treaties, binding decisions from human rights tribunals, and non-binding interpretive statements from other human rights bodies—while acknowledging that some principles are still emerging. The overarching purpose of Knox’s report is to further the establishment of the Framework Principles at the individual state level and globally.
