Abstract

This article addresses the discourse on the prospective human right to energy and assesses challenges to its full recognition, drawing on an analogy to the human right to water. Initially, we offer a bird’s eye view of the normative framework that governs the human right to energy by discussing its development. Our discussion is based on the issue of energy access, and is supported by the concepts of sustainable development and energy justice. Subsequently, we argue that the intractability of the challenges associated with the recognition of a right to energy are more apparent than real. Finally, to facilitate the recognition of the human right to energy, we suggest making the inherent link between energy services and human dignity more explicit.
能源人权:从水权人权的发展中吸取教训
本文讨论了关于能源人权的前景的论述,并以水的人权为例,评估了充分承认能源人权所面临的挑战。首先,我们通过讨论能源权的发展,提供了一个规范框架的鸟瞰图。我们的讨论以能源获取问题为基础,并得到可持续发展和能源正义概念的支持。随后,我们认为,与承认能源权相关的挑战的棘手性是显而易见的,而不是真实的。最后,为了促进对能源人权的承认,我们建议更明确地说明能源服务与人类尊严之间的内在联系。

期刊介绍: The relationship between human rights and the environment is fascinating, uneasy and increasingly urgent. This international journal provides a strategic academic forum for an extended interdisciplinary and multi-layered conversation that explores emergent possibilities, existing tensions, and multiple implications of entanglements between human and non-human forms of liveliness. We invite critical engagements on these themes, especially as refracted through human rights and environmental law, politics, policy-making and community level activisms.
