Mitologi Pembangunan adalah Pertumbuhannya Kerusakan Lingkungan Hidup dan Pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia

This paper tries to explore the linkage  between environment,  structural  poverty and the continuous  violations  of human rights  because of the increase exploi• tation of natural resources  without any consideration  to the environment.  The management of the environment   is dominated by profit interest.  It also places the interests of the public and future generation as the last priority.  For the past two decades,  the discourse  and practice of growth and development  - even though they are enfolded in many concepts  such as participatory development - have triggered many environmental cases or community  level because of the un-fulnllment   of basic needs  and the denial of the right to environment.To prevent  those things,  the writer  suggests,  among  others, to include the value and principle  of the Right to Environment  as a principle in all policies and legislations  regarding  the management of the environment and natural resources at international, regional and national levels. Furthermore, the winet also proposes to the Indonesian  Government  to develop a vision in the form of an environment blue-print   as the basis of the implementation   of development accessible by the people.
