The agreement which should be urgently needed for the climate which has been emergency that has been faced under the implementation over the treaty that should ground breaking norms which contributes for the further protection of the environment which can be termed under the defend the particular region. Despite the fact that the Escazu Agreement coming over towards the authorities which come into the force that could be a significant advancement over the policies of the states within the region for facing the climatic emergency and crisis for the violence against the environmental defenders which create the slowness of some of the amended as well as ratified, that resulted in lack of common interest by taking an excessive measure for more level of participative, accessibility towards the information, and fair services regarding the environmental policies which have a still existence over some of the defined region.

Contemporary Issue – Ingenuity and Irregularities
In the year of 2015, the report of Global witness have three environmental activist all over around the world which were murdered every week, this particular pattern was clearly elaborated previously in the worldwide report of 2014 as “Deadly and Vicious Environment” which was first comprehensively examined under the heading of alarming the murder, attacks, riots, intimation and threats over the people. While all the report were concentrating over the development in the field of modern advancement in technology or growth, the significant media was giving attention and primarily focus on the signs over the plight of the environmental defenders that was clearly highlighted by the statutory authorities in built at the international level as Human Right Authoritative bodies that have issues through the statement of demanding the action including the Michael Forst which was entitled for UN Special Rapporteur on the department of the HRD. The scholars stated that official report A/71/281 which was perhaps considered as one of the most clearest statement and explanation regarding the underlying clause for uplifting the main agenda for the causation of the attack that states – there will be increasing in the level of violence, intimidation over the common interest of an individual, harassment that can affect population in both the perspective civil as well as criminal sense, and demonization over the brave individuals or the groups who have striven for defending as well as for the promotion towards the environmental land right development that has been categorized largely in power equality over which there is continually conflicts arises by the protector which states that – “Power of the inequalities can be permeates by taking all type of decision making procedure, starting from the upstream of the phrase towards the determination of the advisability towards the development of project for design and for its implementation onwards. In many of the specified cases power of equality or biased behaviour have always aimed at the shrinking space towards the civic level of participation in order to muzzle the opposition for the purpose of development and growth.
Relatively a poor level of understanding within the people of society has been under the specificities for their exclusion, that can be affected towards the fundamental rights of the holder which has been often live in the rural side of the town that has isolated areas, consisting of a very little access to the governmental services and the power of judiciary.” The heart of the principles that has been under the sub theme of 10 of the Rio Declaration over the doctrine which was adopted in 1992 by over a total of around 196 governments or constituencies. Within which it stated that the environmental issues that has been handled over the participation of all the varied concerned citizens at a height of relevant level, at the national level within which each of the people shall have an appropriate access for the information more concentrated for the sustained environments that has been held by the public authorities which includes the material which have hazardous nature and the activities in the communities for purpose of decision-making.

Promotion of the transparency and taking defence of the public access shoring towards the environmental democracy and justice, the principles of the treaty which hailed under the massive step into the progressive over the protection of the regional environmental defender. The key poignant aspect for the international treaty within which special measures should be taken under the agreement formally named under the doctrine of access to information, world-wide public participation, and appeal for access of justice but the commitment towards the protection environment should not be degraded by guaranteeing the state with safe as well as propitious for promotion of the rights and recognized matter of environment.

In the 21st century and modern contemporary era, the resources are dealt with or destroyed because of the independent and individual users as the main motive of the economy is constant as well as consistent development that would uplift the status of the nation. The dependence over the fragility trade relation which examines the functioning of primary products, analysing among the incessant violence, and lastly inequality practical challenges which are faced on the institutionalized level of the social order. There are many regions that are not in the state to resolve the issues that are generated as nothing in return can be generated without the solidification of the dire which is needed for fulfilling the gap between state and regular functioning of the society which are labelled as unpredictable. Policies that are directly enacted towards the social inclusion that deal with the uncertainties that ultimately provide minimal and intermittent measures which will be set as an alert or awareness situation for population and territory. Lastly, for avoiding all types of irregularities and challenges, countries should be strong in nature not only in the implementation part of the specified policies or ordinance but also in the establishing section. Importantly, they should be capable of dealing with the regular risks that are increasing the issues among the populations and economic development.
