" Specifically, the Aarhus
Convention aims to:
- allow members of the public greater access to environmental information
held by public authorities, thereby increasing the transparency and
accountability of government;
- provide an opportunity for people to express their opinions and concerns
on environmental matters and ensure that decision makers take due account of
these;
- provide the public with access to review procedures when their rights to
information and participation have been breached, and in some cases to
challenge more general violations of environmental law."
