Editorial


The  Journal and  Publication Society, School of Law,  CHRIST
(Deemed  to be University), takes pride in placing on record the
twentieth issue of the Christ University Law Journal. This issue of
the journal comprises researched articles and a book review based
on environmental law. The writings are authored by academicians
and  research scholars. Volume 11, Issue 1 is based on the theme
'Imbibing Eco-centrism in Environmental Law:  Scope, Challenges
and the Way Forward'.
Law  has always been  used as a tool to secure human needs and
wants. An  anthropocentric approach is ingrained in every facet of
law, and  environmental law  is no exception. Unfortunately, the
present environmental legal regime has not been able to thwart the
degradation of the environment, let alone bring about a paradigm
shift in how we humans  interact with nature. Environmental Law
has been based on the wrong assumption that humans are separate
entities living away from nature. By doing so, it has not taken into
consideration the intrinsic, inherent value that exists in each and
every component   and thereby fails to address the real problems
that plague  Mother  Earth. This anthropocentric approach  has
already caused irretrievable damage to the environment. It is high
time that we change this wrong assumption, address real concerns,
and bring about the much  needed thrust towards framing an eco-
centric law that treats humans as a part of nature. To foster this line
of thought, one has  to delve into its scope, the challenges and
possible solutions which could  lead to harmonious  coexistence
between  man  and nature. The research papers in this issue try to
examine various aspects related to environmental catastrophes and
suggest possible solutions.
