"The speeding up and worsening of the ecological crisis, the increase in the number of environmental disputes over damage done to the environment and over the inequitable distribution of common resources, the pressure on society for real access to environmental justice on a global scale, together with the evolution of international environmental and human rights law, call for a better definition of the obligations of the States and other parties and for more suitable instruments such as an International Environmental Agency and an International Court of the Environment for their enforcement."
