Three pillars Art. 9.4: “adequate and effective remedies, including injunctive relief” “Public participation cannot be effective without access to information, as provided under the first pillar, nor without the possibility of enforcement, through access to justice under the third pillar.” (Implementation Guide p. 85)”
