Abstract

Synergy between Human Rights and Environmental Protection: A Crucial Approach for our Future.
The concept of sustainable development is presented as a solution capable of meeting the needs of development and conservation of the environment while protecting it for present and future generations. The right to a healthy environment can be part of existing international law, implemented through human rights instruments. The procedural  aspect of the right to a healthy environment encompasses the right to information, the right to participation and the right to effective remedies. Participation in the decision-making process and the availability and effectiveness of remedies are essential features of the right to a healthy environment. Expressed in the field of human rights law, these  principles convey the notion that citizens have a right to participate.
