The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, 1992

“Earth Summit”

The Rio Declaration on environment


and development was approved by the
United Nations during the Conference
on Environment and Development held
in Rio de Janeiro on June 1992. It was
aimed at reaffirming the Declaration of
the United Nations Conference on the
Human Environment, adopted at
Stockholm on June 1972.
The Declaration adopted a set
of principles to guide the future
development. These principles
define the right of people to
development, and their
responsibilities to safeguard
the common environment.
The Rio Declaration states that the
only way to have long term economic
progress is to link it with
environmental protection. This will
only happen if nations establish a new
and equitable global partnership
involving governments, their people
and key sectors of societies.
“Human beings are at
the centre of concerns
for sustainable
development. They are
The Rio entitled to a healthy
Declaration and productive life in
harmony with nature”.
include
(Principle №1)
following
principles:
The right to
development must
be fulfilled so as to
equitably meet
developmental and
environmental
needs of present and
future generations.
(Principle 3)
All States and all people
shall cooperate in the
essential task of
eradicating poverty as an
indispensable
requirement for
sustainable development,
in order to decrease the
disparities in standards of
living and better meet the
needs of the majority of
the people of the world.
(Principle 5)
States shall enact effective
environmental legislation.
Environmental standards,
management objectives and
priorities should reflect the
environmental and development
context to which they apply.
Standards applied by some
countries may be inappropriate and
of unwarranted economic and social
cost to other countries, in particular
developing countries. (Principle 11)
Warfare is inherently
destructive of sustainable
development. States shall
therefore respect
international law providing
protection for the
environment in times of
armed conflict and cooperate
in its further development, as
necessary. (Principle 24)
