Communications from the public

In accordance with paragraphs 18 to 24 of the annex to decision I/7 of the first session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Aarhus Convention (ENG FRE RUS), communications may be brought before the Committee by one or more members of the public concerning any Party’s compliance with the Convention.

The required format for submitting a communication is available here. 

Communications received by the secretariat by 28 January 2025 will be considered for preliminary admissibility at the 86th meeting of the Committee on 11–14 March 2025 so long as they are complete, in the required format and no translation is needed. Communications not considered for preliminary admissibility at the 86th meeting may be considered for preliminary admissibility at the Committee's 87th meeting in June 2025. The communications to be considered for preliminary admissibility at each meeting will be posted on this page four weeks prior to the meeting.

Communications that have not yet been determined to be preliminarily admissible have the prefix "PRE" at the start of their case reference.

A compilation of all findings adopted by the Compliance Committee to date is available here in a searchable format. The compilation is updated to incorporate new findings of the Committee as the edited versions of those findings are issued.

Disclaimer: Presence of the text of the communication and other information submitted by the communicant and the Party concerned on this web site does not imply endorsement of their content by the Compliance Committee or by UNECE.
