EPISODE 141 — Environmental Stewardship as Legal Duty

Описание: EPISODE 141 — Environmental Stewardship as Legal Duty

Environmental protection is no longer a matter of choice — it is a legal, moral, and constitutional duty.
In Episode 141, we explore how environmental stewardship has evolved into a binding legal obligation under Islamic principles, global jurisprudence, and Pakistan’s constitutional framework.

🌍 Islamic Perspective — Earth as Amanah (Trust)

Islam views the Earth as an Amanah (trust) given to humanity by Allah. Humans are not owners but guardians, accountable for how natural resources are used, preserved, or destroyed.
The Quran repeatedly condemns fasad fil ard (corruption on earth), making environmental destruction a moral and religious violation.

⚖️ Global Perspective — Climate Litigation

Around the world, courts are increasingly recognizing:

climate change as a human rights issue

environmental harm as intergenerational injustice

future generations as having legal standing

Landmark climate cases show that states can be held accountable for failing to protect the environment, even when damage affects people not yet born.

🇵🇰 Pakistan’s Legal Framework — Environmental Rights

Pakistan’s judiciary has played a pioneering role by:

expanding Article 9 (Right to Life) to include a clean and healthy environment

recognizing environmental degradation as a violation of fundamental rights

allowing public interest litigation to protect ecological balance

Courts have affirmed that development without sustainability is unconstitutional.

⚖️ Ratio Decidendi

“Future generations have standing.”

This principle recognizes that today’s actions determine tomorrow’s rights. The law must therefore protect not only the present population but also those who cannot yet speak for themselves.
