Many problems related to air, water, and environmental pollution have arisen in our country recently. In order to prevent these problems, a right known as "Environmental Right" was conceived as a human right under constitutional theories. Support for this environmental right is concretely provided for in Articles 13 and 25 our constitution. There are in effect, provisions which guarantee the right to maintain life. In other words, the content of this new right is one which is included under basic human rights. For instance, the former article guarantees the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and, the latter one guarantees the right to maintain the minimum standards of wholesome and cultured living.
