Access to Justice

What is access to justice?

Recognizing the right to a clean and healthy environment, and the development of legislation to protect the environment requires methods or mechanisms to effectively carry out the legislation on the part of the State and its citizens.

Access to justice is one of the ways citizens can enforce environmental legislation.

In this way, individuals can bring forward legal actions or go through administrative proceedings to defend their right against environmental degradation.
