Over the past four decades, the world has amplified its alertness on the relationship between environmental dilapidation and human rights abuses. When confronted with the question about the relationship between the environment and human rights, most experts rightly consider environmental protection as a prerequisite for enjoying the right to health. This chapter explores this interlinkage between the right to health and the right to a healthy environment and contends that human rights and the environment are intrinsically interwoven as the life of each human being depends on the quality of environmental protection guaranteed. The main justification is that the environment can only be protected properly when human rights are respected. In this light, the following research questions are addressed. First, do environmental violations have any implications on health? Second, does the environment have the status of a human right? Third, do states have unlimited sovereignty over the environment? Fourth, does the government have any right to sanction anyone who abuses the environment? This chapter is based on the following hypotheses: the government should protect the environment because the gratification of all human rights is intimately connected to environmental issues. The chapter relies on a doctrinal research methodology and observes that environmental violations in Cameroon are the main cause of some health-related conditions. It is our humble belief that through this critical legal examination of environmental health-related issues, violators would become more conscious of the legal consequences of their actions.
