Radio New Zealand: Tuvalu's prime minister says the international community must recognise that inclusive human right principles are key to achieving a solution on climate change. Enele Sopoaga says climate change threatens the very core principles at the heart of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- including the right to life, liberty and security.
