摘要：

Due to the nature of environmental litigation, expanding the standing of actors that could bring claims to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) - such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) - has become a pressing need. This article explores the current approach to NGOs' standing to bring environment-related claims before the ECtHR. In particular, by drawing on the Aarhus Convention, the article explores NGOs' important role before the ECtHR given their recognized right to environmental information, as well as their role in upholding the right to a fair trial at national level. In conclusion, it is argued that NGOs should be given a more prominent role in environmental cases and that the dichotomy between the case law regarding NGOs' standing in claims under Articles 2, 3 and 8 on the one hand, and Articles 6 and 10 on the other, is outdated.
