Rights that have arisen from public rights and the advent of a new generation of novel human needs have contributed to this process.

In addition, in the religious rules including “no harm”, “wasting”, “causation” and “respect to possessions” the right to a healthy environment has been supported and defended and the liability of the aggressor has also been recognized.
