  • Address by Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Chief Justice of Pakistan at the Inaugural Session of South Asia Conference
    ADDRESS BY MR. JUSTICE IFTIKHAR MUHAMMAD CHAUDHRY CHIEF JUSTICE OF PAKISTAN AT THE INAUGURAL SESSION OF SOUTH ASIA CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE HELD UNDER THE AEIGIS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF PAKISTAN PEARL CONTINENTAL BHURBAN 24-25 MARCH 2012 2 Hon’ble Chief Justices; Hon’ble Judges; Distinguished Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen: Assalam-o-Alaikum! It is an occasion of extreme pleasure for me to be present here and to address the inaugural session of the South Asia Conference on Environmental Justice organized under the auspices of the Supreme Court of Pakistan in coordination with the Asian Development Bank and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Man has made a success in the development of science and technology for his comfort and ease but unfortunately, this has been done at the cost of our environment. The environment concerns have crossed the State frontiers, and have developed a new branch of International law. The environmental hazards are now not the issue of any individual State but have become collective and global concerns. Undoubtedly, since the Second World War, enormous legal instruments were formulated in shape of international treaties and conventions, but still its implementations is a matter of prime concern. Developed countries besides making great progress in science and technology have also evolved and implemented mechanisms for the preservation and conservation of environment issues in their respective countries. The developed countries, in the light of Stockholm 1972 and Rio 1992 conventions, should respond to their obligations to transfer financial resources and technology to the developing countries. Many developing countries have made comprehensive legislation on the environmental issues, but mere legislation would not be enough without scientific knowledge and resources.
