The Rule of Law in a State of Disaster
Involving South Africa’s Human Rights Commission in environmental protection
Section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, provides that everyone has a right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being.

Their caveats stem from the doctrine of separation of powers, which classically divides state authority between the three branches of government.
