RIGHTS AT RISK AT UNITED NATIONS E-PETITION
This petition calla attention to the weakening, or ?bracketing? or outright elimination of nearly all references to HUMAN RIGHTS obligations and EQUITY PRINCIPLES in the text, ?THE FUTURE WE WANT?, for the outcome of Rio+20.
This includes references to the right to food and proper nutrition, the right to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation, the right to development and others. The right to a clean and healthy environment, which is essential to the realization of fundamental human rights, remains weak in the text. Even principles previously agreed upon in Rio in 1992 are being bracketed ? the Polluter Pays Principle, Precautionary Principle, Common But Differentiated Responsibility (CBDR).
We urge our fellow citizens of the world to stand up for the future we want, and let their voices be heard.
