Claiming responsibility arising from activities concerning the environment in the context of substantive law and procedural law in relation to the right to health

The right to environment, which is considered as one of the third generation human rights, is guaranteed under Article 56 of the Constitution. According to this article, the responsibility is placed not only on the state but also on citizens. Living in a healthy and balanced environment is a fundamental human right. It can also be associated with the right to health and the right to life. Today, pollution of areas that need to be protected and making them uninhabitable are frequently on the agenda in the media. The global consequences of environmental pollution, such as global warming, will also affect future generations. In this master's thesis, actions/activities that have a negative impact on the environment and health, including those that continue their activities in accordance with the law as a result of the administration's issuance of activity permits, are examined in terms of the right to health, from the perspective of liability and procedural law. The concept of activity covers production, consumption and service activities. The commencement, supervision and termination of activities are analyzed within the framework of environmental law. The liability of environmental polluters to compensate for damages is also analyzed through examples in practice.
