Summary/Abstract: The European Convention on Human Rights and its additional protocols do not contain any provision that expressly refer to the right to a healthy environment. The European Court of Human Rights has, however, expanded the protection of privacy regulated by Art. 8 of the Convention to the environment in which individuals have the right to live. Sometimes it is the environment that invades privacy, other times individuals interfere with it. The fate of an action before the European Court of Human Rights which concerns the right to a healthy environment can thus be changeable.
