Bolivia proposes UN treaty to recognize ‘rights’ of Mother Earth

‘Utter madness’: Bolivia proposes UN treaty to recognize ‘rights’ of Mother Earth | LifeSiteNews.com: Earlier this year, Bolivia enacted the Law of the Rights of Mother Earth in the country, calling the earth’s resources “blessings” with their own rights. Now, Bolivia aims to push for the UN to pass a similar measure, recognizing the earth as a living entity that humans have sought to “dominate and exploit” to the point that the “well-being and existence of many beings” is threatened.

The global treaty would recognize that humans have caused “severe destruction ... that is offensive to the many faiths, wisdom traditions and indigenous cultures for whom Mother Earth is sacred.” It would enshrine 'Mother Earth's' rights to life, water and clean air, and the right to be free of pollution.
