Abstract
Without a doubt, the environment is the surrounding in which humans live. It consists of three highly important elements that have a major impact on human life. However, this environment, due to various human activities, has been exposed to pollution as many contaminants have mixed with its elements. This has significantly contributed to threatening human health and, consequently, human life. the right to health is one of the fundamental human rights, closely tied to a person, as it relates to physical, mental, and psychological well-being. Without it, life would not be safe but rather constantly at risk. Undoubtedly, many national and international legal rules have addressed the right to health. National constitutions, as well as rules of private and public law, have recognized it. International agreements, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and the two International Covenants of 1966—the first on Civil and Political Rights and the second on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights—have also emphasized the importance of this right. However, the right to health has been violated due to damage inflicted on the natural environment and its three elements. These violations are not limited to the national level but extend internationally as well. Among the most prominent of these violations is environmental pollution affecting natural elements such as water, air, and soil. Consequently, these violations have negatively impacted human health and life. Additionally, climate change has contributed to affecting human health and threatening lives, particularly with the spread of global warming as a result of greenhouse gas emissions.
