Viet Nam Human Rights
People have the right to be protected from climate change
25/8/15
Although
the international community in the international conferences has recognized the
link between climate change and human rights, but the law of human rights
before the climate change seems very difficult.
Overall,
the discussion of the world and outlined ways to respond to climate change
mostly based on the calculation of benefits and costs. This problem is highly
visible, measurable by econometrics. Moreover, the priority issues in
calculating benefits and costs of climate change almost overlap and repeat
global issues addressed in the program of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
However, the issue of human rights belongs to the field of social science, or
more specifically, the field of ethics, and the calculation of benefits - costs
about the relationship between climate change and human rights seems to stop in
the speculation.
From
the perspective of non-traditional security, international organizations so far
have not been able to give an accurate assessment orientation but relied solely
on the nature of the scenario assumptions to give the problem that people
should be protected from climate change. In terms of ethics, climate change is
altering the behavior of man to man, between man and the environment, in which rich
countries currently treat unequally poor countries who adverse impact from the
environment. This inequal relationship is harming the right to life, right to
health, right to human survival. However, there has no effective settlement by
international law.
More
than ever, people need a right to be protected against the effects of climate
change. This requirement is completely justified, setting out the need to
quickly modify the system of international law. Protecting people and human
rights before the impacts of climate change not only base on the calculation of
the cost - benefit, which should base on ethical behavior and responsibility of
each individual, each country and the whole world.
