his view that the Special Advisor role was more suitable for a “P4 or P5 in mid-
career” and to a person with a much more technical background; his desire to stay
on at the CMS; and the fact that he had just been elected chair of all United
Nations agencies in Germany.
11. (...) This is the type of situation which calls for --
and in practice invariably receives -- a decision taken in advance. (...) In this connection the Executive Director very candidly explained at the hearing
that national governments regularly raise issues and express concerns about
situations. According to the Respondent, general concerns about management or
direction of environmental entities are frequently expressed.

Nagy, European ECO Forum and Guta Environmental Law
Association
Roundtable on environmental defenders, June 24, 2022
Chairman, distiguished Delegates,
In our statement we will focus on the the situation of environmental and human rights defenders
(EHDRs), and the persecution, harrassment and intimidation they may suffer (except SLAPPs), first of
all in the Western Balkan region. We base our findings on the study (draft) Assessment report on the
situation of environmental human rights defenders with particular focus on the Western Balkans,
2021, commissioned by UNEP. (...) The mentioned UNEP report is a very valuable analysis and overview of the situation, covering the last
5 years up to 2021. A similar study following the methodology, would be highly recommended for
other regions to have a full picture of the situation of environmental defenders in the UNECE region.

This process began with a consultation in Nairobi on 22-23 February 2013 that focused on procedural rights and duties, followed by consultations in Geneva (21-22 June 2013) on the relationship between environmental protection and substantive rights and duties, Panama City (26-27 July 2013) on environmental protection and the human rights obligations related to members of groups in vulnerable situations, Copenhagen (24 October 2013) on how international institutions and mechanisms can integrate human rights with environmental protection and Johannesburg (23-24 January 2014) on constitutional rights to a healthy environment.
(...) Similarly, a “best” approach in one situation may not be considered as successful in another situation.
(...) They might include, for example, efforts to assist communities to participate in environmental decision-making beyond what environmental review laws may require, or even local laws that go beyond national legal obligations.

Work depended on LLP experiences of countries: Questionnaire
• LLP situations relating to the environment • Availability of data and information needed to define
and analyze LLP situation e.g. risk • Approaches taken to identify and assess any
potential risk • Mitigation of situation
