Abstract: Submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Abstract: This thesis will attempt to impute global climate to States on behalf of the Maldives, thereby giving the Maldivians the opportunity to be compensated for the loss of their homeland. It will firstly seek to establish state responsibility within the context of international human rights law. By this, it will implicitly determine if there exists a justiceable human right to the environment. Secondly, it will examine the general sources of international law in an effort to determine state responsibility.
