There is no doubt that disasters carry important implications for the effective enjoyment of human rights, and that States have to take into account their obligations under international and regional human rights instruments in disaster management activities throughout the whole disaster management cycle. This section reviews how international and regional human rights bodies have made practical contributions to the clarification of relevant rights and obligations in 2018. As seen by the following examples, there is currently a real appetite, if not a proper momentum, for the adoption of interpretative statements and even legal instruments that consolidate clear, easily accessible and coherent
The field of international environmental law is highly relevant to the prevention of, preparedness for, response to and recovery from disasters. Most obviously, environmental law is important because poorly managed environmentally hazardous situations can directly cause or contribute to the occurrence of both slow-onset and sudden-onset disasters, while various disaster events, such as oil spills, volcanic eruptions, forest fires or climate disasters can also lead to widespread, irreparable environmental damage, including to vulnerable habitats and eco-systems as protected under international treaties.
This article includes a comprehensive analysis of work currently being carried out by regional and international human rights supervisory bodies in the field of disaster management, being cognizant of the fact that the past decade has seen an increased international concern for the adequate protection of persons affected by disasters. Taking on board suggestions by Walter Kälin that effective disaster management encompasses three distinct phases, i.e. preparedness, response and recovery, jointly constituting a full ‘cycle of protection’, this paper analyzes the pronouncements of bodies specifically against this backdrop. The article argues that human rights bodies have already started to engage in clarifying human rights obligations in all these phases, which is important because our improved understanding of the (man-made) causes and consequences of disasters, and any pre-existing vulnerabilities that exacerbate impacts, might require a more holistic approach to managing disaster settings generally, including from a perspective of human rights.
