Why do so many of us find the idea that nature might have rights so compelling or so preposterous? And why do so many serious scholars – of both human rights and environmental policy – avoid the issue altogether?In this episode on “On Human Rights” we will go deeper in to this fascinating and thought provoking discussion through the lens of Walter F. Baber. Baber is the 2017/18 Fulbright Distinguished Chair of Public International Law at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and the Faculty of Law at Lund University.
He has spent the last 30 years on environmental policies. This lecture was part of a series of human rights related lectures which RWI is co-organizing with the Association of Foreign Affairs, under the banner of the so called “Wednesday night Rights”.
