Sažetak
The public participation principle allows the public to express their views and needs, thus effective implementation of this principle enables citizens and their associations to influence decisions important to them. In the 1990s, there was a growing idea that to make a fair environmental decision, it was essential to involve those affected by the decision. This article researches into the public participation principle in the field of environmental protection, both in theory and in its position within international environmental law. Moreover, it examines the concept and elements of public participation, the notion of the public, and the significance of public participation in realising environmental rights. International environmental treaties analysis reveals that the public participation principle has been widely accepted, and has played a crucial role in their further development.
