20.500.12556/DKUM-72577 Legal aspects of health implications caused by environmental distress The article tries to explore legal consequences in cases where the environmental distress causes health implications for individuals. The author begins with the observations from two different angles, that is ex ante and ex post actions. Both approaches differ substantively, since the ex ante approach is applied by state authorities (command-and-control approach, de iure imperii acts), while the ex post approach is by a general rule initiated by individuals against polluters/state. Both approaches are discussed considering the application of EU rules and beyond (ECHR, Aarhus convention). The main emphasis is given to one of the biggest problems, that is the issue of causality, which discourages many plaintiffs from claiming damages. For the so-called post-industrial risks the conventional rules of causality do not suffice, which is why certain courts proposed that changes in this respect are necessary. In addition, the role of NGOs is emphasised, since the NGO can, especially in the ex ante approach, achieve better effects, especially when locus standi is assured. environmental protection healthy living environment legal remedies in environmental law ECHR Art. 8 ECHR Art. 2 command-and-control approach claims for damages health varstvo okolja zdravo bivalno okolje pravna sredstva v okoljskem pravu EKČP čl. 8 EKČP čl 2 pristop poveljevanja in kontrole odškodninski zahtevki zdravje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Univerza v Mariboru Znanstveno delo 2018-10-09 09:42:50 2018-10-09 09:43:55 2022-08-01 22:51:44 2019-07-11 19:23:16 2017 0 0 str. 33-51 št. 1 Letn. 10 April 2017 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2463-7955 502:349 281851136 5417259 2463-7955 URN:SI:UM:DK:IH3OQMOM Medicine,_law_&_society_2017_Knez_Legal_aspects_of_health_implications_caused_by_environmental_distress.pdf Medicine,_law_&_society_2017_Knez_Legal_aspects_of_health_implications_caused_by_environmental_distress.pdf 1 8A51031B5C81025D189881400623CB5C 266fe0c73bd5b74fb0d911e88a4d63aa8cfe10376f4ad3a9eac1dbb406bc1356 72f827f0-7c10-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca 20.500.12556/dkum/b0ebce14-8c88-4f21-bcb9-4e525d40c319 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=130767 http://journals.um.si/index.php/medicine/article/view/42 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=130766 Pravna fakulteta Medicine, law & society 0 0 0
