THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND ITS CASE-LAW ON ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Abstract

Only recently the environmental protection has become a real concern of the international community. Despite the fact that no human rights treaties, such as the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, contain a right to the environment explicitly, they have been interpreted as including environmental protection obligations for the Contracting States. Very often we hear about environmental degradation. The purpose of this article is to provide the most relevant examples from the European Court of Human Rights case-law in this field in order to strengthen the environmental protection at the national level.
