Abstract There are growing trends in the human rights to substantially extend the values to protect the environment or moreover to welcome the ideas of the rights to environment, not to mention the rights of environment. The purpose is to inclusively embrace the environmental problems wherein the humanity challenges posited on, but this agenda may leave a room of doubt how far the human rights body can address the environmental destruction as it needs the interplay of culture and environmental ethics to promoting such concepts. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the justification of how human rights in the environmental protection in the contemporary discourse are bringing to light, as many current cases attempt to linkage the environmental approach to the human rights instrument, such as the rights to life, healthy environment, and intergenerational equity. To analyse further, the theoretical framework in this paper will be explicated by environmental culture paradigm which illustrates the egalitarian concept between human and environment to elicit the clear thoughts of how human rights is naïve to protect the environment. This article will firstly depict the human rights and the environmental protection discourse and then, explore the naïveté narratives of environmental culture about the ecological crisis roots that are fundamentally anthropogenic, as to reflect the ground realities how this nexus will play out. Finally, this paper found the moral justification per se relies on the effort of elaborating the human prudence in their relationship with nature, albeit bringing the naïveté.

This insemination of human rights claims on environmental discourse arguably departs from Stockholm in 1972, United Nations (UN) Conference on the Human Environment which stated that every people have fundamental rights to freedom, equality, and adequate conditions in their environment who entitled them such life dignity and prosperity.3 This critically express the roles of human rights to protect human livelihood which later strengthened by the Principle 3 of Rio Declaration on Environment and Development wherein concerned on sustainable meaning that the interdependence between human needs and environment entwined, “The right to development must be fulfilled so as to equitably meet developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations”4 However, it can be seen perspicuously that these instruments rather put forward anthropogenic approach than the ecological-centric5 or in the nexus of the two crucial points, as this supported literally by Principle 1 of Rio Declaration justified that human being is the salient points of such concern. However, the clear effort to identify the relationship between the human rights and the environment progressively appropriated by the United Nations Human Rights Council.6 Which later on, the independent working group led by the Special Rapporteur John Knox, to deeply observe the human rights obligations relating to the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environ- ment.7 According to the report of the independent group, there is the environmental obligation arising from substantive human rights, such as the rights to a healthy environment as the prerequisite to the full enjoyment of human rights itself.8 This rapid development is understandable due to the upsurge human rights cases that pertain to the environmental problems in global context, such as from the large- scale pollution EHP v. Canada in 1945 to 1952,9 individual case of Öneryildizv.

Why this becomes a crucial topic? As Alan Boyle argued that the human rights bodies may lift up ‘the standard of environmental quality based on the states obligation to take measures to control the pollution affecting health and life.13 This discourse is increasingly discussed in general human rights law. Therefore, the idea of ‘greening’ mainstream human rights urgently demanded as environmental rights caseload in human rights courts recently multiplied.14 However, what is lack of this mainstream idea is the integrity of human ‘natural’ rights discourse itself in the context of environmental culture,15 as Steven J. Hood argued that promoting the human rights may be successful if applying the ‘conscious cultural learning’16 so that we shall thus find the moral justification of how human rights in the envi- ronmental claims in the contemporary discourse are bringing to light. Meaning that it withdraws from a rationale inquiry about the environmental rights and the rights to environment, what are the rights actually for? To answer this, the narrative can be surreptitious to boiling down to the mere human entitlements instead of unfolding the human self-enclosure as part of ecological beings to preserve the intrinsic environmental values.17 This article, therefore, attempts to view a major complication of human rights in environmental protection ideas while human is ‘hero, villain, and victim’18 in the same time of environmental problems. Also, the consequences of mainstreaming the environment protection into the existing corpus of human rights law can be futile, if this embodiment is not rarefying its justification first then postulate the legal architecture. Not to mention the hardship it may suffer when examining the paradigm 11 Maya indigenous community of the Toledo District v. Belize, Case 12.053, Report No. 40/04, Inter-Am.

Result and discussion 2.1. Human Rights and Environmental Protection Historically, French Revolution engendered the Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen (1789) which could be said as the first authentic prescription of human rights context nowadays, in article II said as the purpose of any political alliance is to conserve the nature and rights of man.20 This principle impelled a strong sense of individualism, the rights of man per se referred to own liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.21 However, this is repudiated by naturalism approach that described man has no right to such property had been fathomed by Henry D Thoreau who depicted human relationship with natural life illustration that: “…by avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows nature but as a robber.”22 He wanted to live deliberately in the woods and conveyed that the natural environment has its rights and human just acted to possess. Of course, the idea of capitalism turned things around, neither did the notion of universal human rights. Moreover, in Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by United Nations which brings out the message of universalism, no single words are declaring the environmental rights (with affirmation) and environmental protection as regard which man can put in jeopardy on contrast.23 This could be understood historically that UDHR was created under the desperation of World War II cruelty and Nazi upon the racial atrocities24 as to why elicited such common understanding that human per se should be therefore protected, respected, and fulfilled.25 19 Susana Borràs, “New Transitions from Human Rights to the Environment to the Rights of Nature” Transnational Environmental Law 5.1 (2016):113–143. 20 Dale Van Kley, The French Idea of Freedom, the Old Regime and the Declaration of Rights of 1789, (California: Stanford University Press, 1994), 1. 21 Ibid. 22 Henry David Thoreau, Walden or Life in the Woods, ed.

Human Rights and the Environmental Protection: The Naïvete in Environmental Culture Made Adhitya Anggriawan Wisadha and Grita Anindarini Widyaningsih Udayana Journal of Law and Culture Vol. 02 No.1, January 2018 77 Later on, R. R Churchill tried to identify the existing of environmental rights which thus presumed as lex lata in some of major environmental rights embodiment began in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR/1966) and the European Convention on Human Rights (1950) that actually the environmental rights derived merely from rights to life, property, land, etc.26 In line with that, according to the United Nations on Environmental Programme, there are three pri- mary legal dimensions of the relationship between human rights and environmental protection, they are: first, the environment as a precondition of full enjoyment of human rights, this further implies to States obligation to ensure the environmental protection in favour of fulfilling human rights.27 Second, environmental protection as procedural rights which endorse the value of information access, participation, access to justice in favour of environmental matters and decision-making.28 Third, the rights to environment as a human rights in it self29 which paid due scholarly attention to the ethical and legal debates. At the point of departure, this concept could thus provide a bigger picture how the human rights efforts to engage in broader narratives in environmental protec- tion both international and domestic law. Accordingly, the first study to scrutiny the relation between environmental degradation and human rights derived from the final report which was presented by Fatma Zohra Ksentini in 1994 that later offered the landmark of interconnectedness in between.30 To date, the new resolu- tion adopted by the Human Rights Council on 24 March 2017 concerning Human Rights and the Environment, the progress is more of encouragement to states for taking human rights obligations and commitments into account in their efforts to protect the environment.31 According to Report of the Joint OHCHR-UNEP Meeting of Experts on Human Rights and the Environment dating back in 2002, the meeting agenda was careful to touch upon the complexities of how human rights law does not protect the environment explicitly or left the question whether the right to the environment is a substantive right. One of the thought-provoking statement made by Clapham and Dinah Shelton was the normative fact of the different approach in between; human rights is much of taking a remedial approach while the environ- 26 Alan Boyle and Michael Anderson (eds.), Human Rights Approaches to Environmental Protection, (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996), 90. 27 High Commissioner for Human Rights and United Nations on Environmental Programme, “Human Rights and the Environment, Rio+20: Joint Report OHCHR and UNEP” published on 19th June 2012, http://srenvironment.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/JointReportOHCHRandUNEPonHu- manRightsandtheEnvironment.pdf accessed on 10 January 2018. 28 Alan Boyle, Op.Cit., 621. 29 Dinah L.

Indeed, it is something new but will later impact in society through relativism and in doing so, is a para- mount endeavour. Some prominent examples in this interdisciplinary legal-culture context are in the Ecuador Constitution that has put environmental protection as a substantive right and such as in the Article 24 African Charter on Human and People’s Rights declared that “all people shall have the right to a satisfactory environ- ment favourable to their development.”33 Therefore, this paper acknowledges that it is more important to know how human rights are defined within the environmental culture because this could be the significant reason to rejoinder the rudimentary human rights practice in challenging many environmental-related problems in the future (correcting of what is going wrong to our relationship with nature)34 as this may correlate to the question that reasoning about nature is too abstract for practical environmental policy-makers. In respect of examining the pivotal role of human rights in environmental protection, it is better to conceptually analyse it “in order for humans to respect the autonomy of nature itself, they must first understand the role of human culture in the shaping of the natural world”35 (or environmental culture). 2.2. Why Environmental Culture? In examining the justification of human rights to protect the environment, we shall best come into the explanation from ground realities because the bottom-up approach is one of the alternative ways to capture the moral justifications of human rights present in practice, trying to explain its point from its legal practice.36 The concern is clear, that is to clarify the justifications of human rights in protecting the environment which is much needed in the first place37 to fulfil the pitfall of ecological crisis as same as what exactly the human ‘environmental’ rights are justifying, for examples in the human rights law or human rights as moral rights giving the pro tanto justification for forceful intervention.38 Hence, this paper put weigh in what account of the legal practice which engenders the human rights justification in the ecological crisis. Thus, the framework 32 Report of the Joint OHCHR-UNEP Meeting of Experts on Human Rights and the Environment (14-15 January 2002). 33 African (Banjul) Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights Adopted 27 June 1981, OAU Doc.

Human Rights and the Environmental Protection: The Naïvete in Environmental Culture Made Adhitya Anggriawan Wisadha and Grita Anindarini Widyaningsih Udayana Journal of Law and Culture Vol. 02 No.1, January 2018 79 of this writing is falling under the environmental culture as it clearly portrayed the ecological humanities more profoundly, that “resituate the human within the environment, and to resituate non-humans within cultural and ethical domains.”39 We shall thus know the primary aim of the new development human rights instrument linking to the environmental matters, including the environmental rights and the emergence of the rights of environment discourse, is to simply protect the environment and broaden the scope of rights protection.40 Val Pulmwood began questioning the rationalisation towards the hyper- separation of human identity from nature41, conceptually we have separated our- selves from the natural environment. This can be seen through an earlier stage of international human rights law established that puts human dignity and equality as main focus42 while human is deemed as inseparable units with the natural environment. This paper argues that the human denial of natural rights in the first place, made the rationalism generating, for instance ‘wealth’ as part of capitalist patriarchy derailed the concept of social justice and equality43 that brutally blindfolded the humanity which is deemed to be a cultural phenomenon, as Pulmwood deeply surmised. The environmental culture in this context is in conquering the nature-culture binary in which bring forward “the positions human outside of nature and thus implicitly posits that human hold the powerful to control their destiny within the natural world which is devoid of meaning, values, and the ethics.”44 In environmental culture, we could understand this problem through Gary Snyder statement, “the world of culture and nature, which is actual, … is almost a shadow world now, and the insubstantial world of political jurisdictions and rarefied economies is what passes for reality.”45 As culture represents a prototype of human existence; the absence of a cultural association makes it arduous to create common identities and establish social values.46 While the complexity of environmental crisis nowadays simply reinvigorates the 39 Deborah Bird Rose, Thom van Dooren, Matthew Chrulew, Stuart Cooke, Matthew Kearnes and Emily O’Gorman, “Thinking through the Environment, Unsettling the Humanities” Environmental Humanities (2012): 1-5. 40 John G.

The Naïveté Narratives 2.3.1. Naïveté Let us begin to understand what brings out the naïveté to clarify this supposi- tion; the words ‘naïveté’ has both philosophical and cultural meaning. As what Val Pulmwood rather like to use “environmental culture” because culture showed the way to concentrate on “…how deep, wide, and multi-levelled the cultural challenge must be to the systems that relate to us both materially and in terms of attitude and ideology to the ecologically world we all-too-unwittingly inhabit.”48 Words naïveté’ also has a dualistic understanding as what human/nature binary has blindfolded the law positivism. First, illustrated in Voltaire novel Candide, oul’Optimisme, which portrayed the naïveté’ through the human social condition that also coloured by religious blas- phemy, satirical politic upheaval, and hostilities.49 Also, this novel gave rise to the optimism philosophical thinking that is similarly of no wisdom and being irrespective of sufficient knowledge which is put as follows:”It is demonstrable that things cannot be otherwise than as they are; for as all things have been created for some end, they must necessarily be created for the best end. Observe, for instance; the nose is formed for spectacles. Therefore, we wear spectacles.”50 This lines of ‘nose are formed for spectacles’ thereby gaining a naïveté predicate. While nose is created not merely for glasses; more in-depth reason may lie upon other else. Indeed, it is the rejection of epistemological objectivism to why such nose should be created in a way it is. Human rights as discursive instrument showed the similarity when become reconciled to the practice in circumstances under the envi- ronmental culture. Human rights have evidently succeeded, looked at its origin and long history, against human subjection and subordination that conceived moral 47 Frederick Albert Lange, “The History of Materialism and Criticism of Its Present Importance”, 1st German Edition, (London: Lund Humphries, 1865), 158. 48 Val Pulmwood, Op.Cit., 4. 49 Ian Davidson, Voltaire in Exile, (New York: Grove Press, 2005), 53. 50 Hugo Grotius, The Classic of International Law, vol.

Human Rights and the Environmental Protection: The Naïvete in Environmental Culture Made Adhitya Anggriawan Wisadha and Grita Anindarini Widyaningsih Udayana Journal of Law and Culture Vol. 02 No.1, January 2018 81 dimensions. However, human rights were not created to see the human as part of whole nature51, it was seen unwittingly otherwise.52 Arguably, this is the first mistake to view the needs for rights as only expressing the human preferences or interests53 in that time of needs. naïveté’ could also express the sacred phrase of ‘ecological denial’, people shrug off the responsibility of knowing the truth especially in an environmental crisis that caused by human activities.54 In naïveté realism, this may point out that consciousness is experienced without reflective attitude, just dull acceptance.55 Having inspired by the human rights in ‘righting’ the environment, it seems the ideas should echo like this, as quoted in Robin Attfield “Do trees have rights? Only what is valuable in its own right has rights…”56 The current argument would be cynically thought that rights have no singularities of moral reasoning and it, there- fore, does appear dissonant to delineate trees as a matter of justice.57 Put simply, the use of word naïve is a symbol of capturing the pragmatism rejection in favour of moral idealism that human rights protection achieved in respect of environmental protection. 2.3.2. do Human Rights Ignore the Intrinsic Environmental Values? There are two main assumptions established to answer the question, first, human rights in protecting environment is self-evident to meet the needs of human- kind it self, even in the domains of the environmental rights which will entangle in accordingly, second, the realisation of environmental protection in human rights bodies frugally vindicated a naïveté scenario in contemporary discourse. This paper viewed that human rights per se are justified by the human prudence58 which approached and strengthened by John Rawls, pretty akin to fairness, that is people need to secure their minimum standard of life as “each person claim primary goods as a matter of human right.”59 Primary goods could be everything, included, 51 As Eleanor Roosevelt, the first chair of Human Rights Commission congratulated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the idea of environmental protection was missed. This was not because she forgot the environment, it is because the human rights instrument drafted before the dawn of modern environmental movement.

Because there is no ‘rights reasoning’ narrative in environmental protection values, so it has not been possible to claim environmental issues without involving human rights in it. But in practice, the attempt to righting environment is eye-opening, away before the discursive point of human rights and environmental protection begin, the case of Sierra Club’s legal battle to stop the development plan by Walt Disney Enterprises, Inc., in the Mineral King Valley of the Sierra Nevadas, could be initial precedent of rights reasoning joined the table of debates. It was Christopher D. Stone who used such case to illustrate the theory of natural objects, in themselves, should have rights before the law. Though the case ultimately lost, the Supreme Court of United States found an intriguing approach to the question: should trees have rights?60 In environmental culture, this may unravel the crisis of reason regarding the ecological crisis that we are currently facing for keeps. To give rise the alternatives that human rights broaden up its function, must now accentuate the environmental rights regime to riposte such environmental issues. In fact, the human rights consequently put the environment as an instrument.61 Furthermore, Diez et al., stated that “in measuring values to inform policy decisions, we have no direct way of assessing intrinsic value but have to rely on observations of human behaviour”.62 We could only see the environment values depend on the human activities, this is naïve, on the other hand, it writes off other ecological beings and integral roles. Historically, the rejection of basic ideas of natural rights (which we assumed the use of environmental rights are still referred to the basic naturalism) are cham- pioned by Jeremy Bentham, put simply that “natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical non-sense, non-sense upon stilts.”63 Maurice Cranton, later refuted this stance, which said natural rights can be understood as universal moral rights, befall from the human rights claim naturally proposes.64 These debates are posited on actual depth understanding of human existence and others existential beings. David E. Cooper used the Prometheans of Marx and Nietzche ideas to identify the human world, are not always analogous, but in the context of human world which based the ideas that “there is no discernable reality independent of human beings” and Marx wrote “Nature…. taken… in its separation from man is nothing for 60 Christopher D.

Apparently, Marx tenably conjectured the univer- sality or properties are ‘anthropocentric’. Comparably, concept of man and nature in Asian philosophy are completely opposed the anthropocentric approaches, most of the literature put human in the central point of universe (part of environment), Graham Parkes (1989) summed up; as hereby stated in Lao-tzu 25, “Man models himself on earth, earth on heaven, heaven on the way, and the way on what is naturally so.” There is the self-identification of being ‘man’ to how nature moves. Human beings are encouraged to be like water, thawing ice, uncarved wood, a valley, grass, and trees.66 This, for rationalist, will be repudiated as backwardness and non-sense. But Nietzsche ever suggested to invert “imaginatively” the human position now and went back to the primitive society to treasure the human relations to nature back then.67 Another great basic Asian philosophy can be found in Mahavakya Vedic in Chandogya Upanisad 6.8.7 that delineated the conversation between Uddalaka and his son Shvetaketu about the self and other existence by comparing environment elements such as trees, water, etc.68 One can be cited, “Even though we cannot see it, the Self is within all things, and there is nothing that doesn’t come from Him. “This invisible and subtle essence is the Spirit of the whole universe. That is a reality. That is the truth. And you, Shvetaketu, you – are that!”69 This depicted the essentialism as the fundamental basis for seeing the light of ‘self in things’, which has no definitive distinction. Like wise, in the Confucius values that approached more contextually human in social structure and ecological context, based on J. Baird Callicott who summarised that Confucius placed upon “a social model of human individuality which is an analogue of ecology’s model of species adapting to niches in the economy of nature and thus acquiring their specific characteristics”.70 In the latter, this unbolted the discourse between human and the nature that keep evolving in each relativism and shaping its foundation of argument. 2.3.3.

Baird Callicott, “Conceptual Resources for Environmental Ethics in Asian Traditions of Thought: A Propaedeutic Source: Philosophy East and West”, Environmental Ethics 37, no. 2 (1987): 115-130. 84 First, environmental problems may be combatted through the assertion of existing human rights, such as the rights to life, personal security, health, and food. In this regard, a safe and healthy environment may be viewed either as a pre-condition to the exercise of existing rights or as inextricably intertwined with the enjoyment of these rights. A second, intermediate position proposes a set of “environmental rights” (rights of the environment as well as rights to the environment) based upon existing rights to information about and involvement in the political decision-making process. Third and most ambitiously, a specific “right to environment” could be formulated and added to the current catalogue of human rights.71 Given that environmental agenda could not be fully accommodated in human rights instrument without deconstructing the concept of human rights and misshape such instrument,72 but one of the alternatives is to use the justification to play out in between the interplay Human Rights in the environmental values system, this regurgitation will inform us the needed course of action,73 such as applied in policy making and environmental security. Environmental culture best reflects on how an anthropocentric logic struc- tured the human self-enclosure that turns to be known as ‘rationality’ and this rationality has imprisoned multi-aspect of culture.74 As an example, the rights to a healthy environment as derived from the Principle 1 Rio Declaration which stands as soft law, the current international law instrument is vague at such whether the environmental policy will protect the environment or peoples’ rights thereto.75 For examples, the financial development may require deforestation or industrial manu- facturing development will inevitably dispose of the pollution, in a certain degree, this may affect the people. But as the protection of ecosystem per se lacks a human value or protection of people, then a rights-based approach to the protection of the environment would become problematic, unless, non-human values were inserted too in the system.76 As early mentioned, this paper argued what fundamental basis in this idea of a rights-based approach to the environment, is relied upon the prudential reasons which validate the prospect of people’s good life, especially in their human ecosystem. However, for that matter, as examples in Article 2 (1) of the International Convention on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR/1966) foregrounded 71 Dinah Shelton, “Human Rights, Environmental Rights, and the Right to Environment”, Stanford Journal of International Environmental Law 28 (1991): 105. 72 Ibid, 138. 73 Donald K.

The maximum utilisation of a state’s resources may provoke few critical purviews; this right partakes utilised-based ethics, which allows deliberately to the state to explore what they have or what it is defined as ‘available resources’. The main problem begins in multifaceted aspect on social, economy, and cultural conjectures to what measurement is to address this phrase specifically.77 This is a second-rights generation that seemingly illustrates the contradictive thoughts in human rights that disregarded environmental protection and valued the natural object as an instrument in the first place. From the case above, we conclude as the Barbara Rose Johnston stated: “the abuse of human ‘environmental’ rights obviously occur within a cultural, as well as political, economic and biophysical context. Human environmental rights violations often occur as a result of efforts to gain control of land, labour, and resources of politically land/or geographically peripheral peoples. The cultural context involves a process of social construction, where marginal peoples are seen to be biologically, culturally, and socially inferior, justifying state domination.”78 Furthermore, applying existing Human rights to environmental protection further can gape at some cases submitted to the court.In the industrial emissions and health behaviour of poor living people in the polluted area, Beatriz Mendoza v. The World, an individual led a class action filed a lawsuit against the government as well as 44 industrial polluters, which allegedly violated her constitutional right to a healthy environment. In 2006, the Supreme Court of Argentina commanded the authorities and the industry to fulfil the strict procedural remedies in the Matanza - Ria- chuelo River polluted areas.79 Another case studies pertaining the rights to healthy environment from the forest dwellers, the Minors Oposa v.Secretary of the Dept of Environmental and natural Resources concerning the intergenerational environmental equity / rights in Philippines’ deforestation of tropical forests that claimed “16 million hectares of rainforest twenty-five years prior to the suit, only 1.2 million had remained intact”80 The notable principle that is recognised here regarding ‘the interdependence and indivisibility of rights’ per se that the court approached in the civil and political rights since ‘these basic rights need not even be written in the constitution for they are assumed to exist from the inception of humankind.’ This aimed to protect the unborn or future generations amidst the forested-groups.81 In the judgment of Marangopoulos Lignite v. Greece, showed that Greece was proven to 77 Ilias Bantekas and Lutz Oette, Op.Cit, 408. 78 Barbara Rose Johnston, “Human Rights and the Environment”, Human Ecology 23, no 2, (1995): 115. 79 Beatrice Mendoza et al. v.

In which, the severe pollution found in the Eordea valley in Western Macedonia – Kozani and Florina prefectures, and the Megalopolis area in the Peloponnese – Arkadia prefecture, affected local people.82 Apparently, the definition of the environment through human rights that adopted in the international nor regional agreement is not fully-fledged. The definitive term of an environment is just merely concerned about human supporting units. The logical construction a priori that is touched off, as though, if the environment was destroyed and no human has found to be a victim, this need not be a claim.83 The international environmental laws hould be very critical to improve the environmental protection but on the other side, it lacks of stringent application compared to the human rights treaty bodies and its implicated compliances both in international and national.84 Therefore, the international law has to suffer the dilemma of notions of rights to healthy and ecologically sound environment85, let alone the self-standing approach in this rights bodies protection itself. The two international covenants referred to the right to a healthy environment in the context of the right to life. ICCPR, for instance, requires environment improvement for supporting the individual development or as fortified in ICESCR to measure the standard of health.86 Later, the Human Rights Committee emphasised the rights to life could precede the rights to healthy environment as such, where the protection of person life means that States should be obliged to take all possible measures to alleviate the infant mortality and otherwise to increase the life expectancy.”87 As we could see, the legal construction remain impractical, not to mention the paradigm shift of identifying the rights of nature. However, a review of a self-standing approach fell under national law instead, as undertaken in the Ecuador Constitution, “Wheeler c. Director de la Procuraduria General Del Estado de Loja, decided by a provincial court in Ecuador, was the first case in history to vindicate the constitutional rights of ‘Pachamama’ – often trans- lated as ‘Mother Nature’” as follows:88 82 Marangopoulos Foundation for Human Rights (MFHR) v.

Every person, people, community or nationality, will be able to demand the recognitions of rights for nature before the public organisms. The application and interpretation of these rights will follow the related principles established in the Constitution. The State will motivate natural and juridical persons as well as collectives to protect nature; it will promote respect towards all the elements that form an ecosystem.90 This Constitutional Law even steps further for treating environmental as not only having the instrumental role but as constitutional and law subject, arguably this purified the intrinsic environmental values out of human-centeredness, rights recognised substantively and self-standing. As prescribed in Article 12 of the South African Constitution as well which stated that “everyone has the right (a) to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being, and (b) to have the environment protected…”91 The indigenous people and other cultural communities have seriously played a significant political role in the country like Bolivia, for examples, they instituted Law of Mother Earth in 2010 were mainly rooted from their indigenous philosophies called Sumak Kawsay that emphasised the concept of harmony and nature as the central creation.92 But could it be said as constitutional pragmatism? Or simply naïveté? Lalander has further introduced the contextualization. In the stark contrast, in the international legal construction, invoke the environment has the substantive rights will surely meet a convoluted plot in the extraterritorial application, for examples. However, treating environment as conceived in procedural rights dimension, can be more applicable. As practiced in the 1998 Aarhus Convention, this convention may serve the environmental protection matters as supported in a way of the access of justice, information, and public participation, for example in the case Lopez Ostra v Spain (1994) which denoted the “severe environmental pollution may affect individuals’ well-being”93 and therefore this convention may 89 Political-economic II Rights Charter 1 Entitlement, Application, and Interpretation Principles of the Fundamental Rights, Constitution of The Republic of Ecuador National Assembly Legislative and Oversight Committee published in the Official Register 20 October 2008. 90 Tittle II Rights Chapter 7th Rights of nature, Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. 91 The South African Constitution, Art.12. 92 Rickard Lalander, “Rights of nature and the indigenous Peoples in Bolivia and Ecuador: A Straitjacket for Progressive Development Politics?” Iberoamerican Journal of Development Studies 3, no. 2 (2014): 154. 93 Lopez Ostra v. Spain, 20 EHRR (1994) 277. 88 enforce the existing human rights law to the impose the environmental protection obligation on States.94 In addition, this approach is currently the most possible in protecting the environment by the human rights instrument. As a result, in the case a quo, the European Court of Human Rights afforded the remedy for an environmental cause of action.95 Then, what is wrong with our human rights incorporating into the environmental matters? It is safe to say, currently naïve but it is not ‘wrong’ by radical means or even some said this is flawed.96 Actually, human rights are substantially based on rationalisation of human disembeddedness of his nature at the time that was born. Firstly, human rights have logical structure of centrism, the model of anthro- pocentrism as prior depicted. In this particular view point also showed that rationality pitfall that falls short the ‘human rights’ to embrace the intrinsic environmental values. Human Rights is an impure form of separation to its environment, this is merely creating, as Val Pulmwood always called, ‘human-self enclosure’. As we are seeing nowadays, the dominant paradigm remains strong in which sadly, it is entrenched within this age of ecological crisis where the biosphere has no powerful standing themselves in human supremacy, given that they have all irreplaceability, non-exchangeability, and limits.97 Secondly, due to the doctrine conundrum of legal expansion in this concept, say, to generate the new catalogue of the environmental rights and rights to envi- ronment that appreciates the intrinsic environmental values is difficult or only officially understood is not enough, if the legal architecture remains unchanged. We can only refer it to numerous international human rights law which implicitly allows expanding such rights to be recognised even it is still under robust anthropocentric approach. For that matter, the ‘expansive’ right to environment is deemed to be a way of amplifying the environmental protection.98 Such as the rights to a healthy environment, now has shown a rapid pace of adoption in 177 of the world’s 193 UN member nations as of 2012, “most countries recognise this right through their constitution, environmental legislation, court decisions, or ratification of an inter- national agreement.”99 According to the common objectives of human rights and environmental law, Dinah Shelton argued, the conflict of human and environment do not present in 94 Alan Boyle, Op.Cit, 622. 95 Luis E.

Conclusion There is some conclusion we could present from this paper, as follows; first, we have to admit the significant complication of human rights and environmental protection in environmental culture lies in two reasoning, the prudential justifi- cation in this human right per se and the reliance of adequate legal umbrella. In the prudential rationale, human ‘environmental’ rights could only set apart the intrinsic environmental values, this will undeniably affect the foundation of policy making for further and the ecological denial of human embeddedness in nature only perpetuate the environmental crisis, neither do the environmental law nor human rights law may redress the ongoing problem. Unfortunately, the realisation of the hierarchical anthropocentricity that undermining the essence of nature is essentially deep-rooted in society, this imparts our current environmental culture. In the other hand, the current legal architecture to satisfy the emergence of environmental rights/rights to environment could limitedly be applied pro tem. None- theless, the rights to healthy environment establishment need to be appreciated; many cases now take a lot of pluck to win the remedies and responsible measures to save the human ecosystem. As viewed in the case law, the practice is justifiable as a self-standing or corollary to other rights bodies.103 However, there are many legal could should raise in further contexts of environmental rights/rights to environ- ment, such as is moral or legal rights?; who bears the rights, it either individual or groups?; Who bears the corresponding obligation to protect the environment?; or in the environmental ethics domain, “how are our obligations and responsibilities toward the natural world to be weighed against human values and interests?”104 100 Dinah Shelton, Op.Cit., 109. 101 Alexander Kiss and Dinah Shelton, International Law (Ardsley, New York: Transnational Publishers, 1991), 11. 102 R. Eckersley, “Anthropocentric/Ecocentric Cleavage” in Julie Newman and Paul Robbins (Ed), Green Ethics and Philosophy: An A-to-Z Guide (USA: Sage, 2011), 106. 103 Ilias Bantekas and Lutz Oette, Op.Cit, 595. 104 Paul W. Taylor, Respect for Nature: A Theory of Environmental Ethics (New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 2011), 10. 90 Second, in identifying the rights-based approach in environmental protection, we reaffirmed the human-centredness in environmental culture, and we share the explanation about how the cases jurisprudence clearly put the human in culture determinacy at stake. Indeed, the goal of this agenda is not the imposition of the eco-centric view, but thoroughgoing discourse, we, therefore, see the global change in a way we conceive of environmental protection, as “it is important to protect nature, but not under the blanket of protecting the human interest.”105 In the latter, what is left is human-centred culture. The hegemonic above radical exclusion of human from other sentient beings or insentient is obvious. The naïveté narratives here then construed a composition of explaining legal construction in environmental culture context which bridged by basic justification, human prudence. However, because the human rights in efforts to protect environ- ment is still newborn (though officially understood) but still lacks of adequate theory support nor legitimation in the global plane, this is thus arguably naïve, especially tackling the current challenge in worst-off position, environmental destruction/ ecological limits by human and by the self-nature system. In other words, the environmental culture ‘crisis of reason’ remains perpetual through inadvertence of asserting this new rights regime. However, the rights expansionism, expanding future legal horizons is at the doorstep, as Ecuador, Bolivia, New Zealand take on the rights of nature in their domestic law as constitutional rights which this stems from the dialogue ethics between cultural localities that reframed the natural entities in the political state-making. 105 Susana Borràs, Op.Cit, 143.
