  The right to a healthy environment is one of the basic human rights. This right actually reflects high values such as the right to life, the right to health, and the right to live with a standard, and it is closely related to the prerequisites for the continuation of the life of the current generation and future generations. In fact, this right is in accordance with the collective requirements and today the necessity of raising this right has caused more attention to be paid to it. In this regard, many international documents, both binding and non-binding, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, explicitly and implicitly emphasize the right to a healthy environment. In this article, which is done with a descriptive-analytical method, we have tried to examine and recognize this right by emphasizing human rights. The results of the present research show that despite the fact that several laws have been passed in order to protect the environment and in each of the international documents the right to the environment has been emphasized in some way, it has not been enough. Therefore, this requires a global and comprehensive effort to achieve an ideal in this regard. Manuscript profile
