Summary/Abstract: Due to the constant developments in the international law, especially marked by the adoption of a revolutionary pattern (sustainable development in the organisation and general functioning of human habitats), we notice new possibilities of exploring concepts as the “biosphere security”. This concept presents common links with other concepts as “human security” and “environmental security” but, in the same time, it maintains the inner originality. We propose a new approach to the so-called “solidarity rights” (as the right to peace, the right to a clean, healthy and protected environment, the right to development), in our efforts to reveal the essence of the “biosphere security” concept. Also, the paper makes an approach about the general features of a global diplomacy devoted to the need of improving the protection of the biosphere beyond the present legal provisions.
