I am happy to learn that 3rd International
Conference of the Chief Justices of the World on Article
51c of the Constitution of India is being held at Lucknow
in December, 2002.
The task of preserving and conserving this earth should
not be left to environmentalists and ecologists alone. It
is the responsibility of each resident of this earth to
ensure that successive inhabitants inherit a safe and healthy
future. I am happy to note that the City Montessori School,
Lucknow is addressing itself to this issue by organizing
a conference of world judiciary to examine the power and
the role of Article 51c of the Constitution of India in
binding Governments constitutionally to uphold International
Law. I have no doubt that the discussions at the Conference
would be both thought provoking and enlightening.
I convey my best wishes to the organizers and participants
of the conference.
