| Abstract: | This article by Whitney Psaila was previously submitted as part of ERL1002 and is being published with the author’s permission. In the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, there is no mention of the Right to a Healthy Environment. Nonetheless, this Convention has been effectively invoked to aid in environmental advancement. Over three hundred cases involving the environment have been heard by the European Court of Human Rights, which has addressed a variety of concerns. This article references several cases which were presented to the ECHR which show that the exercise of other Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms may be jeopardised by the lack of a healthy environment. |
