Why the Ganga should not claim a right of the river

Ipshita Chaturvedi

Water International, 2019, vol. 44, issue 6-7, 719-735

Abstract: This article examines the global history of a rights-based approach to nature and then focuses in on whether conferring legal rights on the River Ganga (Ganges) in India would help in its management or on the contrary produce a conflict between human rights and the right of nature. Finally, it considers the legal perils of articulating a universal right of a river by comparing the Ganga and Whanganui cases.
