Die UN-Konferenz über Umwelt und Entwicklung (UNCED) zielte darauf ab, das System der Vereinten Nationen in die Lage zu setzen, Konflikte im Umweltbereich zu verhüten bzw. beizulegen. Die Bedeutung der UNCED für die Entwicklung von Umweltsicherheit wird dargestellt. Vor dem Hintergrund dessen, daß internationale Vereinbarungen nur eingeschränkt geeignet sind, die Beachtung internationaler Umweltverpflichtungen zu gewährleisten, werden notwendige strukturelle Veränderungen der internationalen Rechtsordnung diskutiert. Sie müssen begleitet sein von einem Hilfsangebot an die am wenigsten entwickelten Länder, insbesondere für technische und finanzielle Hilfe. Ferner ist die Rolle internationaler Institutionen auszuweiten und sind Mechanismen der Streitbeilegung zu entwickeln. (AuD-Hng)

The Procedural guarantees laid down in Article 6, European Convention on Human Rights in relation to the fairness and expedition of legal proceedings would be meaningless if the Convention did not protect the right of access to the courts which is a precondition to the enjoyment of those guarantees. As a result, the European Court of Human Rights has laid down the principle that Article 6(1) secures to everyone the right to have any claim relating to his civil rights and obligations brought before a court. The right of access to the courts is not absolute. The Strasbourg case law acknowledges that it may be subject to limitations. Contracting States enjoy a margin of appreciation in this regard. However, national courts must be satisfied that the limitations applied do not restrict or reduce the access left to the individual in such a way or to such an extent that the very essence of the right is impaired. Moreover a limitation will not be compatible with Article 6(1) if it does not pursue a legitimate aim and if there is no reasonable relationship of proportionality between the means employed and the aim sought to be achieved.
