Description

Earth Law Center educates and advocates for laws and policies that recognize and promote the inherent rights of nature to exist, thrive and evolve.

We envision a future where the inherent rights of nature are respected and implemented globally.

Earth Law Center takes on specific initiatives to develop, increase awareness of, and advocate for Earth-based laws, policies, economies, philosophies and governance systems. Initiatives include advocacy projects on behalf of particular ecosystems and communities, university educational programs, and innovative research efforts. Earth Law Center works to broaden the vocal constituency for these initiatives through strategic alliances with environmental and citizen group advocates, indigenous groups, legal professionals, scientists, students, government officials, green businesses, sustainable living organizations, and others.

    You have found the source of human rights but interpreted it wrongly. Nature gives a person life and once obtained that person has a right to security, meaning that no one may assault him/her in any way without justification. A complete theory of human rights based on natural rights is given in my book "Human Rights, What Are They Really?". It can only be purchased thru the internet, e.g., Amazon Kindle or at www.truehumanrights.com
