Abstract
Issues of addressing challenges of pursuing Inclusive Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) complying with Internationally Recognized Human Rights (IHR) without degradation of an environmental ecosystem have attracted researchers and policymakers. Despite sustainable development being promulgated in international and national legal contexts, there is still a gap witnessed in integrating IHR, ISID and environment, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Constitutional and Legislation provisions, and Jurisprudence. Qualitative and quantitative embedded relationship and reinforcing nature of SDGs and Constitution, Judiciary, and Legislations related to IHR, environmental, ISID Jurisprudence, and influence of the principle of sustainable development on the domestic legal regime is analyzed. The paper reveals the pivotal role of the Constitution, Legislation, and Judiciary in establishing a doctrine of sustainable development. Based on the analysis, the paper concludes that the reinforcing and embedded nature between IHR, ISID, environmental protection, SDGs, Constitution, Legislation & Judiciary is undeniable, and this reinforcing and embedded relationship can be utilized holistically in advancing SDGs. The study reveals significant and varied levels of Embedded Relationship Index between the Constitutional provisions and SDGs, thereby signifying the need to include global legal indicators in SDG progress analysis as an explicit reference, and this extra-legal compliance mechanism can produce positive synergies in realizing SDG objectives. As a case study, the Constitution of India, Legislation, and Judgements pronounced in various Courts in India are considered in this paper. Principles established, analysis model developed, and recommendations made in this paper can be deployed across geographies.
