The Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters dates from June 1998. The present paper deals with the comparison of the Aarhus Convention and the corresponding Czech national law.
The Aarhus Convention appears to be very complicated and many of its provisions contain ambiguity.
It is shown that a restrictive reading of the Aarhus Convention is almost identical with the national law. On the other hand, a more extensive explanation oj the Convention would require conceptual changes in the Czech law, concerning namely the review of administrative decisions by the courts of law.
