OSCE Office supports training courses on environmental rights in Armenia’s Aarhus Centres

August 20,2015 12:27

The OSCE Office in Yerevan, in partnership with the Centre on Economic and Legal Analyses NGO, launched the first in a series of training courses in regional Aarhus Centres today to enhance the capacities of civil society organizations and local authorities on the third “pillar” of the Aarhus Convention – Access to Justice.

Today’s course was held at the Aparan Aarhus Centre.  Similar training courses for all 15 Aarhus Centres in Armenia will take place later in the year. The courses will highlight the legal instruments on accessing legal review procedures to enforce the Convention’s standards on access to information and public participation as well as the provisions of domestic environmental law.

Gevorg Danielyan, the key expert from the NGO, will present effective legal solutions to the issues raised  by the domestic Aarhus Centres and will suggest appropriate methods in managing issues of mutual concern.

The courses are designed to be attended by representatives of the local Aarhus Centres, civil society organizations, municipality employees, academic and business community where interaction between the Aarhus Centres and local and other administrative bodies will be discussed.

A comprehensive methodological guide on ensuring environmental law protection, including samples of appeals to state or private institutions requesting information, together with other relevant documents, is expected to be published as an outcome of these courses.
