El derecho humano a un medio ambiente sano en el Tratado de la Constitución para Europa

Concern for the environment and sustainable development is accorded a significant presence in the draft of the European Constitution, especially when compared to former treaties. However, this paper sets out to demonstrate that it is not sufficient. We propose that the right to a healthy environment be included as one of the constituent values of the European Union. To this end, we justify the possibility and necessity for the right to a healthy environment as a third generation human right, through the analysis of human rights as the implementation of the current universal demands of human dignity.
