Mattering in the Anthropocene
Climate change is subject to a wide range of legal ‘framings’, or emphases of what is considered legally important and relevant. This includes the decision to frame it as a human rights issue at all. In 2024, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) adopted such a framing, recognising that the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) places States under regulatory and procedural obligations concerning climate change. However, closer inspectio…
Climate-related vulnerabilities and the European Court of Human Rights
Who is particularly vulnerable to climate change, how do these vulnerabilities intersect, and what do they mean for climate litigation? For the European Convention on Human Rights, these questions have not yet been conclusively answered. Although recent climate rulings recognized the interdependence of human rights and climate change, the European Court of Human Rights has proven reluctant to engage with the fundamental inequity of climate change…
Conceptualizing just transition litigation
Justice in the Liminal
As the human right to a healthy environment is codified around the globe, some systems still lag behind. One noticeable straggler is the Council of Europe, which is currently undergoing its fourth attempt to recognize the right. This article examines the proposals tabled within this system in light of overarching debates about climate justice and environmental rights, before focusing specifically on the spatial and temporal limits of the European…
Deference, Dignity and ‘Theoretical Crisis’
The present article engages with human rights law’s purported ‘theoretical crisis’, according to which rights—and specifically those in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)—are bereft of a convincing theoretical foundation. In doing so, the article interrogates the use of crisis-oriented language, challenging the very idea of a ‘theoretical crisis’ of rights. Identifying the tension between judicial activism and judicial deference as th…
Klimagerechtigkeit durch Klimaklagen
Immer mehr klimarelevante Verfahren erreichen Verfassungsgerichte und Menschenrechtsinstanzen. Diese Verfahren zeigen, dass der Klimawandel die Grund- und Menschenrechte in grundsätzlicher Weise herausfordert. Auch Fragen der Klimagerechtigkeit treten in diesen Verfahren immer häufiger auf, zB in Bezug auf die Extraterritorialität und die Opfereigenschaft. Eine menschenrechtliche Perspektive – insbesondere unter Berücksichtigung von besonderen Ve…
The Future is Now
This article evaluates the potential role of the European Court of Human Rights in adjudicating cases related to climate change. The Court is currently facing its first four climate applications, and addressing them is more than a routine process of applying existing case law. These cases speak to fundamental questions regarding the Court’s engagement with systemic problems, politically and technically challenging issues, and its own subsidiarity…
Climate Change before the European Court of Human Rights
Human rights law is increasingly being mobilized to litigate against the effects of anthropogenic climate change. This now includes proceedings before the European Court of Human Rights, which is currently considering its first five climate cases. The present article contends that an examination of climate change as a human rights issue by the Strasbourg Court, although requiring transformations of existing case law, is not only possible but also…
Something Ventured, Nothing Gained?—Remedies before the ECtHR and Their Potential for Climate Change Cases
The European Court of Human Rights stands before what may be its greatest challenge: addressing current and impending human rights violations stemming from climate change. As the first climate cases trickle into the Court’s docket, and speculation about the Court’s response grows, many questions remain to be answered. Perhaps the matter of greatest uncertainty relates to the type and degree of redress that the Court can offer in this context. Thi…
Responsive Human Rights
This open access book asks, who is a vulnerable person in human rights law? It assesses the treatment of vulnerability by the European Court of Human Rights, an area that has been surprisingly underexplored by European human rights law to date. It explores legal-philosophical understandings of the topic, providing a theoretical framework that can be used when examining the question. Not confining itself to the abstract, however, it provides a bri…
Justifying New Rights
Over the last decades, various groups seeking international legal recognition of new human rights claims have succeeded in their endeavors. Some movements have crafted such convincing demands that their participation has even become an implicit condition of the legitimacy of the resulting human rights documents. But what are the bases of claims for new human rights, and how do they help to confront the argument that human rights’ expansion also e…
The Human Right to Land, for Peasants and for All
In 1948, Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) pioneered a right to (individual and collective) ownership of property. Today, the right to property—specifically the social function of property, which was a mainstay of the discussions—can be linked to the idea of a human right to land, which has been particularly prevalent in the discourse concerning the creation of human rights protections specific to peasants. The peasan…
The human rights covenants at 50
Half a century ago, on 16 December 1966, the UN General Assembly adopted the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). While the adoption of the two UN human rights covenants was celebrated all over the world, their 50th anniversary has received very little attention from the international community. The present book marks this anniversary by takin…
Enforced Disappearance and the European Court of Human Rights
The jurisprudence of human rights bodies has long played a role in ensuring accountability for enforced disappearance: the European Court of Human Rights, for example, has dealt with a large number of applications concerning disappearances perpetrated in the jurisdiction of the Council of Europe member states. This article concerns one of the main challenges facing the European Court in the context of such cases, namely the behaviour of these sam…
