The Ecological Society “Green Salvation” was addressed by a group of citizens living in the city of Almaty on Raiymbek street. The people were concerned that their rights on favorable environment were violated because of construction of a State veterinary laboratory (contractor – “Almatyenergoresurs” LLP) which was taking place on the territory of their private land lots next to their houses.
On June 1, the Specialized Interregional Economic Court of Astana City made a decision on the lawsuit about inactivity of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and about admitting as invalid the Head sanitary inspector’s conclusion on reduction of the sanitary protection zone of the “Karachaganak Petroleum Operating B.V.” enterprise. The lawsuit was mounted by Ecological Society “Green Salvation” on June 19, 2008, in order to protect lawful interests of the residents of Berezovka village, West-Kazakhstan oblast.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
print version 
Since 2002, the Ecological Society Green Salvation has utilized judicial methods to defend human and environmental rights. We uphold the right of citizens to access environmental information; we strive to repeal the conclusions of state environmental assessments conducted in violation of the law; and we contest the inactivity of state bodies. Our more significant cases include a lawsuit against the National Atomic Company “Kazatomprom” for failing to provide information, and a lawsuit to acknowledge as invalid the conclusion of the state environmental assessment for the project to construct a high-voltage 110 kV power line in the Mountain Giant District in Almaty and to renew work on the Construction Materials Combine’s Plant No. 3 (KSMK-3) in Almaty.
As a result of lawsuits, in 2004, communications were submitted to the Aarhus Convention’s Compliance Committee. In the case of two of the communications, the Committee recognized the Republic of Kazakhstan’s non-compliance with the provisions of the Convention and violations of the human right to participate in the decision-making process and to justice in environmental matters (see the “Convention” section for more details).
On average, Green Salvation submits about 10 lawsuits each year. The more significant of these trial experiences are included in this section.
