The article is the first attempt in the Russian science of the international environmental law to analyze the results of the first UN Conference on Environment Protection issues — The 1949 UN Conference on the Conservation and Utilization of Resources. A parallel is drawn between the goals and objectives of these Conference and those environmental problems that are in the focus of the international community at present time. The influence of the 1949 Conference on the 1972 Conference on the Human Environment is traced.
