Nature’s Rights
Kang, Jae Gyeu
Christopher D. Stone teaches law at University of Southern California in Los Angeles. The publication of “Should Trees Have Standing?” in 1972 was an important influence on the development of the field of environmental ethics. Stone is author of Earth and Other Ethics.
Stone proposes giving legal rights to natural objects. While such an extension of rights may seem unthinkable, he points out that such extensions have always seemed unthinkable before they occurred, and that there are currently a number of inanimate legal persons, such as railroads and corporations.
Stone summarizes what it means for something to have legal standing and how natural objects currently do not possess legal standing. He proposes an extension of the legal guardianship model for legal incompetents, and explains some of the advantages of such a strategy.
Can an animal or a plant raise a lawsuit to a court?
Environmental law is the regulation that was established in order to protect the public interest, that is the profit of mankind, the Earth, an ecosystem, etc.
However, the current lawsuit system is the system that was prepared in order to protect personal profit.
Therefore, I think that an existing lawsuit system cannot contribute to the realization for the purpose that environmental law aims at.
So I insist that an existing lawsuit system should be revised in order to realize the purpose of an environmental law effectively.
This paper is composed as follows.
1. Introduction
2. Historical Development of the Theory of Nature’s Rights
3. Case Study on Nature’s Right Litigation in Several States
4. The Possibility of Nature’s Right Litigation
5. Conclusion
