Semi-protected edit request on 1 May 2024 Strongly enough[edit]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Human rights. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

X Please replace the following section due to bad grammar:

" Including environmental rights In 2021 the United Nations Human Rights Council officially recognized "having a clean, healthy and sustainable environment" as a human right.[38] In April 2024 the European Court of Human Rights ruled, in the first time in history, that Swiss government had violated human rights by not acting strong enough to stop climate change.[39] "

This replacement section has better English grammar:

Including environmental rights In 2021 the United Nations Human Rights Council officially recognized "having a clean, healthy and sustainable environment" as a human right.[38] In April 2024 the European Court of Human Rights ruled, for the first time in history, that the Swiss government had violated human rights by not acting strongly enough to stop climate change.[39] Hexaphenylbenzene (talk) 08:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
