Synopsis

The Aarhus Convention was adopted in June 1998 and it widely recognised as the world's foremost international instrument promoting access to public information and participation in the negotiation and implementation of international agreements. It is a new kind of environmental agreement which links environmental rights with human rights and focuses on the interactions between the public and public authorities in a democratic context. This guide explains the rights and obligations established by the Convention in plain and easy-to-understand language, as raising awareness of the Convention is crucial for its effective implementation.
