<br>
<b>Statement on Appointment of John Knox as UN Independent
Expert on Human Rights and Environment</b><br>
<br>
Geneva--The Center for International Environmental Law
welcomes the appointment Professor John Knox as the first
United Nations Independent Expert on Human Rights and the
Environment. The United Nations Human Rights Council
established the Independent Expert mandate in a landmark
resolution on Human Rights and the Environment in April,
and appointed Professor Knox as the mandate holder at the
close of its 20th Session in Geneva today. Professor Knox
is a leading figure in the field, whose long experience
and broad expertise makes him an excellent choice for this
critical role. According to Marcos Orellana, Director of
CIEL’s Human Rights and Environment program, “The newly
appointed Independent Expert will play a key role in
building consensus both for the global recognition of the
right to a healthy environment and for the development of
strong substantive content of that right.”<br>
<br>
Professor Knox has been a Counsellor to CIEL on Human
Rights and Environment for many years. He will
discontinue this role in order to exercise his mandate in
total independence. “We are excited to continue working
with John in this new capacity and to support him in the
successful fulfillment of this vital mandate," said David
Azoulay, Managing Attorney for CIEL’s Geneva office.
"More importantly, we look forward to a growing
recognition of the universal human right to a healthy
environment.”<br>
