Stay inside when the wind blows your way - engaging environmental rights with human rights By Philip Leach [2005] 4 Env. Liability Engaging environmental rights with human rights - Fadeyeva v Russia
Philip Leach discusses the importance of recent Strasbourg cases, especially Fadeyeva v Russia, "arguably the European Court's most significant recent development in its environmental jurisprudence". He analyzes the applicabilty of Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family life) in an environmental context.
