Bolivia will this month table a draft United Nations treaty giving "Mother Earth" the same rights as humans — having just passed a domestic law that does the same for bugs, trees and all other natural things in the South American country.
The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to "dominate and exploit" — to the point that the "well-being and existence of many beings" is now threatened.
The wording may yet evolve, but the general structure is meant to mirror Bolivia's Law of the Rights of Mother Earth, which Bolivian President Evo Morales enacted in January.
That document speaks of the country's natural resources as "blessings," and grants the Earth a series of specific rights that include rights to life, water and clean air; the right to repair livelihoods affected by human activities; and the right to be free from pollution.
It also establishes a Ministry of Mother Earth, and provides the planet with an ombudsman whose job is to hear nature's complaints as voiced by activist and other groups, including the state.
"If you want to have balance, and you think that the only (entities) who have rights are humans or companies, then how can you reach balance?" Pablo Salon, Bolivia's ambassador to the UN, told Postmedia News. "But if you recognize that nature too has rights, and (if you provide) legal forms to protect and preserve those rights, then you can achieve balance."
The application of the law appears destined to pose new challenges for companies operating in the country, which is rich in natural resources, including natural gas and lithium, but remains one of the poorest in Latin America.

It's the anti-Church. Or, if you prefer (and more in keeping with the vision of Dag Hammerskjold), it's the UN-Church. Its destiny is sealed.
More nonsense from the America-Hating Free Trader Communist Globalists at the UN.
Sad part is that we have a lot of people that support these Unpunished Nazis
“Well, I’d be in favor of giving everyone remotely connected to the UN the same rights that bugs currently enjoy....”
Unfortunately, it isn’t going to work that way). See post No. 7).

With rights come responsibilities - can the people of Japan sue mother earth for all the havoc associated with the earthquake and tsunami? Where do they go to collect damages?
And will mother earth be subject to capital punishment (or just indefinite confinement) for all the innocent souls she took in the aforementioned incidents?
This last sentence says it all.
In a world gone mad, it should not be a surpeise thet the most backward, ignorant countries of the world feel entitled to make rules to control everyone, including the USA.
First the muslim, now Bolivia. Do we need to join the madness?
The UN has outlived its usefulness. It is a total drain on the developed world. What are we thinking?
Apparently!
Right on point. It is the culture of death to humans. We are the bacteria in these people's minds. Their "mother earth" worship is not new but goes back to the beginning of civilization. "There is nothing new under the sun"--Ecclesiastes.
I Approve of the UN's glorious plans!!!!
Send the UN Hq to Uganda out our country, end funding of these nitwits.
Throw the UN in a pit with lions, tigers and bears to prove their point.
Sometimes I have to wonder who is really behind the UN....
I have to sound like a Tin Foil Hat wearing weirdo, but lately a lot of the crap that comes out of the UN sounds like stuff that would come out of the mouth PR person from Mars who wants to use insidious plots to take over the world.
Alejandro Toledo (President of Peru, 2001-2006), doesn't count because he's educated and speaks fluent Spanish. From Wikipedia:
"Toledo is one of sixteen children of a family of indigenous campesinos of Quechua heritage... Later on, he attended Stanford University, where he received a master's in Economics, a master's in education, and completed his PhD in Economics of Human Resources (in 1993) at the Stanford University School of Education."
Well, he was created as an angel, has the name Lucifer, and is the enemy of mankind.
And which creatures are going to represent the other creatures in court?
Spot on.
Move the UN to Libya and let them have a back to nature life style, like craping in the ditch.
