Abstract: On 19 September 2017, the UN General Assembly in New York informed everyone that it
was to present the project of a Global Pact for the Environment, before the Heads of State and
Governments, representatives of civil society, the private sector, etc. of the 193 Member States of the
organisation, in the presence of UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres, President of the French
Constitutional Council Laurent Fabius2, and French President Emmanuel Macron. If adopted, this pact
(Moroianu Zlftescu, 2017) comes to complement the legal edifice of fundamental human rights norms,
created by Rend Cas sin3, consolidated by Karel Vasak4 by creating the three generations of rights5, each
of them having thus its own pact. (First generation, civil and political rights, second generation,
economic, social and cultural rights, third generation, right to peace, development and the
environment).

Keywords: rights; Global Pact; Environment; international treaty
