	Earth Summit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro from June 3 to June 14, 1992, was unprecedented for a United Nations conference, in terms of both its size and the scope of its concerns.
		The Earth Summit influenced all subsequent UN conferences, which have examined the relationship between human rights, population, social development, women and human settlements — and the need for environmentally sustainable development.
		Other criticisms were that the format of the Summit inhibited the discussion of sustainable development by putting development and environment functions in separate compartments, and uniting trade and development concerns, rather than trade and environment concerns, as would be required if tax, tariff and trade policy were actually to be changed to accommodate environmental concerns.

		Perhaps it was the knowledge of the failures of the past decade that made the outcome of the WSSD such a disappointment.
		The Summit failed to address energy issues, the harmful effects of trade liberalization and subsidies, made lukewarm statements to support the Biodiversity Convention, and compromised on toxic chemicals to the extent that the outcome was weaker than previous international agreements.
		Some things were achieved however, including a determination to improve water supply and sanitation, the need to allow fish stocks to replenish, and establishment of an international fund to tackle poverty.
