Ab­stract:

The Taşkın case manifests mutual supportiveness of the Aarhus Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights as well as of the general international environmental and the right to private and family life. Interactions between the protection of the environment and human rights are complex and involve economic and political factors. Legal concepts of sustainable development, mutual supportiveness and balance of interests bring new principles governing the complex interactions. They are reflected in Taşkın.
