Application of the European Convention on Human Rights for Protection of Environmental Rights and the Environment

The manual constitutes the second edition of the analytical review of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights in cases relating to the environment. The authors analyse court judgments under specific articles of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the content of which was creatively interpreted by the ECHR to include situations when unfavourable environmental factors caused violations of rights under the Convention, or when such rights were limited for the sake of environmental protection.
