Summary/Abstract: Fundamental human right to a healthy environment is part of the latest human rights, also called generation “solidarity rights,” which stated largely in the European Court of Human Rights. The starting point is the Article 8, paragraph 1, of the European Convention on privacy and family life, so often invoked in cases of law in Europe. From this article, the right to a healthy environment as a normal and natural extension of the right to life has been developed, indirectly: we cannot have a healthy life without a healthy environment. A number of “famous” cases helped with speeding up the road from recognizing the right and its devotion to the authentic.
