Sentences with phrase «omissions by private persons»

The idea that environmental claims warrant different treatment arises principally from the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision - making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (the «Aarhus Convention»), which was ratified by the UK in 2005 and which includes the provision that «each Party shall ensure that... members of the public have access to administrative or judicial procedures to challenge acts and omissions by private persons and public authorities which contravene provisions of its national law relating to the environment.»

This category, however, is considerably narrower than the «acts and omissions by private persons and public authorities» mentioned in Article 9 (3) AC.
