Recenzii
'Marek Prityi significantly reminds readers that for environmental law to be legitimate, citizens must not only have access to institutions to exercise their rights, but also have access to the information that enables citizens to maintain those rights. Examples demonstrate that citizens can exercise those rights directly or through supportive state action, by connecting human rights with environmental protection. In an illuminating functionalist comparison of China, India and several EU member states, Prityi makes a convincing case that environmental protection and human rights can work together, especially through procedural rights. He provides concrete meaning to the overused word “sustainable”, bridging environmental protection and the more general human rights to water, food, and health, but also to such specific rights as privacy, expression, fair trial, free expression, property, and the enjoyment of indigenous culture. The sharp procedural rights focus offers real insight to citizens and legal practitioners.'

'Following the UN General Assembly’s Resolution declaring the access to clean and healthy environment as a universal human right, Marek Prityi’s book is a timely intervention in establishing the nexus between human rights and environmental rights. The book provides a detailed look at how the human rights and environmental rights have intersected over the years, at the international and regional levels. The greatest strength of the book lies in Prityi’s detailed research on multiple jurisdictions from the Global North, particularly case studies form the European Union, and jurisdictions from the Global South, including India and China. Prityi also innovatively analyses established human rights through an environmental lens; offering insights on how established human rights institutions can address environmental rights. I would definitely recommend this book to students of international environmental law, especially to get a detailed and accessible understanding of environmental human rights, especially public participation in environmental decision-making.'

'I highly recommend this book not only to scholars and practitioners but also to all those actively involved in advocating for the protection of human rights and the environment during these critical times of climate crisis and ongoing environmental degradation.
The author delves into the intricate relationship between human rights and environmental protection, with a specific focus on environmental procedural rights. By analysing and comparing approaches in the European Union, India, and China, the author argues that meaningful public participation in environmental matters allows for consideration of various aspects that are often overlooked or not fully addressed. Consequently, this active involvement contributes to better environmental protection and empowers marginalized communities.
Furthermore, the author highlights that governance structures and respect for civil and political rights serve as prerequisites for realizing economic, social, and cultural rights. This underscores the interdependence between rule of law matters, including democratic and institutional standards, and the effective implementation of environmental procedural rights.'
