Drawing on her extensive research in this matter, and her membership in the Aarhus Compliance Committee, Prof. Hey will discuss the manner in which this unique Convention through its own Compliance Committee and the case law of both the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union has shaped the manner in which Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters are regulated in Europe.
