1. NEW: Spring 2004 *Human Rights Dialogue* on "Environmental Rights"
===========================================================
Calls for the protection of environmental rights -- in recognition of
the environmental dimensions of the concept of human rights -- have
intensified in recent years. This marks a change from the era when, in
the minds of activists and others, environmental issues and issues of
human rights existed in separate spheres. The Spring 2004 issue of
*Human Rights Dialogue* explores the definition, status, and relevance
of environmental rights in law and politics around the world, and the
extent to which a human rights lens is a helpful way in which to view
environmental issues.
