UN FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON
CLIMATE CHANGE (UNFCCC)
International Environmental Treaty that was produced at the UN
Conference on Environment and Development. It is aimed at
STABILIZING greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a
level that would prevent interference with climate system.
Since the UNFCCC entered into force, the parties have been meeting
annually in Conferences of the Parties (COP) to assess progress in
dealing with climate change, and beginning in the mid-1990s, to
negotiate the Kyoto Protocol to establish legally binding obligations
for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

OPOSA VS FACTORAN
HELD:
FACTS:
The principal petitioners are all minors duly represented and joined
by their respective parents. Impleaded as an additional plaintiff is
the Philippine Ecological Network, Inc. (PENI), a domestic non-stock
and non-profit corporation organized for the purpose of engaging in
concerted action geared for protection of the environment and
natural resources. The original defendant was Hon. Fulgencio
Factoran, Jr., Secretary of DENR.
The complaint was instituted as a taxpayers class suit and alleges
that plaintiffs are all citizens of the Republic of the Philippines,
taxpayers, and entitled to the full benefit, use, and enjoyment of
natural resource treasure that is the countrys virgin tropical forests.
The instant petition was filed to seek for the cancellation of all
existing timber license agreements (TLA) in the country and to cease
and desist from receiving, accepting, processing, renewing, or
approving new timber license agreements.

(2) NO. The Court does not agree with the trial courts conclusions
that the plaintiffs failed to allege with sufficient definiteness a
specific legal right involved or a specific legal wrong committed, and
that the complaint is replete with vague assumptions and

(1) NO. Sec. 17 does not state that government agencies
concerned ought to confine themselves to containment,
removal, and cleaning operations when specific pollution
incident occurs.
On the contrary, Sec. 17 requires them to act even in the
absence of specific pollution incident, as long as the water
quality has deteriorated to a degree where its state will
adversely affect its best usage. This is not conditional on
occurrence of any pollution incident.
(2) YES. SC held that cleaning up and rehabilitating Manila Bay
is ministerial in nature and can be compelled by mandamus.
Sec. 3 (c) of RA No. 7924 (law creating MMDA) is mandated
to put up an adequate and appropriate sanitary landfill and

LLDA vs. CA
FACTS:
Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) was created through
RA No. 4850 in order to execute the policy of towards environmental
protection and sustainable development so as to accelerate the
development and balanced growth of the Laguna Lake Area and the
surrounding provinces and towns.
EO 927 further defined and enlarged the powers and functions of
LLDA and enumerated towns, cities, and provinces encompassed by
the term Laguna de Bay Region.
Upon the implementation of RA No. 7160 (Local Government Code),
the municipalities assumed EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION and authority
to issue fishing privileges within their municipal waters since Sec.
149 thereof provides that Municipal corporations shall have authority
to grant in municipal waters and impose rental fees or charges
thereof.
Big fish pen operators took advantage of the occasion to establish
fish pens and fish cages to the dismay of LLDA. Implementation of
separate, independent policies in fish cages/fish pen operation and
the INDISCRIMINATE grant of fish pen permits by the lakeshore
municipalities aggravated the current environmental problems and
ecological stress of Laguna Lake.
LLDA then served notice to general public that:

E n v i r o n m e n t a l L a w R e v i e w e r | 15
A month later, LLDA sent notices advising the owner of the illegally
constructed fish pens/cages and aqua structures, advising them to
dismantle their respective structures otherwise demolition shall be
effected.
ISSUE: Which agency of the governmentLLDA or
towns/municipalities comprising the regionshould exercise
jurisdiction over the Laguna Lake and its surrounding district insofar
as issuance of permits for fishing privileges is concerned.
HELD:
LLDA. Sec. 4 (k) of LLDA charter and Sec. 2 of EO 927, specifically
provide that the LLDA shall have exclusive jurisdiction to issue
permits for the use of all surface water for any projects or activities
affecting the region. On the other hand, RA No. 7610 has granted
municipalities exclusive authority to grant fishery privilege on
municipal waters.
Provisions of RA No. 7610 do not necessarily repeal the laws creating
LLDA. Where theres conflict between general and special laws, the
latter should prevail as it evinces legislative intent more clearly than
general statute. Special law cannot be repealed, amended, or altered
by a subsequent general law by mere implications.
Moreover, the powers of LLDA , for the purpose of effectively
rehabilitating and monitoring Laguna de Bay, partakes of the nature
of police power, most pervasive, least limitable, most demanding of
all state powers.

The Aarhus Convention establishes a number of rights of the public
(individuals and their associations) with regard to the environment.
The Parties to the Convention are required to make the necessary
provisions so that public authorities (at national, regional or local
level) will contribute to these rights to become effective. The
Convention provides for:
(1) Access to Environmental Information: the right of
everyone to receive environmental information that is held
by public authorities. This can include information on the
state of the environment, but also on policies or measures
taken, or on the state of human health and safety where this
can be affected by the state of the environment. Applicants
are entitled to obtain this information within one month of
the request and without having to say why they require it. In
addition, public authorities are obliged, under the
Convention, to actively disseminate environmental
information in their possession;
(2) Public Participation in Environmental decisionmaking: the right to participate in environmental decisionmaking. Arrangements are to be made by public authorities
to enable the public affected and environmental nongovernmental organisations to comment on, for example,
proposals for projects affecting the environment, or plans
and programmes relating to the environment, these
comments to be taken into due account in decision-making,
and information to be provided on the final decisions and the
reasons for it.
(3) Access to Justice: the right to review procedures to
challenge public decisions that have been made without
respecting the two aforementioned rights or environmental
law in general.

Republic Act No. 7076 (1991), otherwise known as the Peoples
Small-Scale Mining Act defines small-scale mining as minimum
activities which rely heavily on manual labor using simple
implements and methods, and which do not use explosives or heavy
mining equipment. The main purpose of the law is: (1) To effect an
orderly and systematic disposition of small-scale mining areas in the
country; (2) To regulate the small-scale mining industry with the
view to encourage their growth and productivity; and (3) To provide
technical, financial and marketing assistance and efficient collection
of government revenues. Through this law, the harmful effects of
the classic trade-off between development and environment could be
minimized if not totally avoided. This law was authored by Senator
Aquilino Pimentel Jr.
With Republic Act 7076 it allows small miners under this law to use
only simple equipments like pick and shovel in extracting gold and
other precious metals in their mining areas. In this age of modern
technology, this law is making sure that the small mining law should
benefit the small miners and not only the big-time operators who are
using the skills and sweat of small-scale miners to accumulate a
fortune.

among the duties of an LGU is to promote peoples right to a
balanced ecology. Hence, it is not exempt
Also, as per the Civil Code, a person is either natural or

2. YES. Davao has sufficiently shown that the project area is

the environmentally-critical areas/projects. The Sports Dome
does not fall under any of the categories.
Despite the IJC-UC decision, the conditions at the Trail smelter did
not improve. Consequently, by February 1933 the U.S. Government
was refiled complaints to the Canadian Government about the
situation at the smelter. These set of complaints led to an emissions
convention which was signed by the two parties on April 15, 1935.
The Convention called for the creation of a Tribunal to determine
whether damage has been done to Washington State since 1932. If
found to have done damage, should it be made to refrain from doing
so? Should any compensation be paid? [ISSUES].
HELD:
Tribunal found that damaged has been caused to the US and that it
should be indemnified for damages. It held that under the principles
of International Law, as well as the law of the US, no state has the
right to use or permit the use of its territory in such a manner as to
cause injury by fumes in or to the territory of another when the case
is of serious consequences and injury is established by clear and
convincing evidence. Hence, Canada was responsible for the conduct
of the Trail Smelter.

which a right of passage exists, on the grounds that it is only of
secondary importance and not even a necessary route between two
parts of the high seas, and that it is used almost exclusively for local
traffic to and from the ports of Corfu. Thus a previous approval of
the territorial state is necessary.
1) Should the North Corfu Channel as it is considered part of
international highways?
2) Is Albania responsible under international law for the
explosions which occurred on the 22nd October 1946 in
Albanian waters and for the damage and loss of human life
which resulted from them and is there any duty to pay
compensation?'
Analysis:
The court analyses the geographical situation of the channel
connects two parts of the high seas and is in fact frequently being
used for international navigation. Taking into account these various
considerations, the Court concludes that the North Corfu Channel
should be considered as belonging to the class of international
highways through which an innocent passage does not need special
approval and cannot be prohibited by a coastal State in time of
peace.
The UK government claims that on October 22nd, 1946, Albania
neither notified the existence of the minefield, nor warned the British
warships of the danger they were approaching. According to the
principle of state responsibility, they should have done all necessary
steps immediately to warn ships near the danger zone, more
especially those that were approaching that zone. In fact, nothing
was attempted by the Albanian authorities to prevent the disaster.
These grave omissions involve the international responsibility of
Albania.
But Albania's obligation to notify shipping of the existence of mines
in her waters depends on her having obtained knowledge of that fact
in sufficient time before October 22nd; and the duty of the Albanian
coastal authorities to warn the British ships depends on the time that
elapsed between the moment that these ships were reported and
the moment of the first explosion.
(2) Has the United Kingdom under international law violated the
sovereignty of the Albanian People's Republic by reason of the acts
of the Royal Navy in Albanian waters on the 22nd October and on
the 12th and 13th November 1946 and is there any duty to give
satisfaction?
Albania was in fact in war with Greece which means that the coastal
state was not in time of peace. UK had not an innocent passage due
to the way it was carried out. The court assessed the manner of UK
warships after they had been shot at May 15th. Having thus
examined the various contentions of the Albanian Government in so
far as they appear to be relevant, the Court has arrived at the
conclusion that the United Kingdom did not violate the sovereignty
of Albania by reason of the acts of the British Navy in Albanian
waters on October 22nd, 1946.
The United Kingdom Government does not dispute that 'Operation
Retail' was carried out against the clearly expressed wish of the
Albanian Government. It recognizes that the operation had not the
consent of the international mine clearance organizations, that it
could not be justified as the exercise of a right of innocent passage,
and lastly that, in principle, international law does not allow a State

to assemble a large number of warships in the territorial waters of
another State and to carry out minesweeping in those waters. The
United Kingdom Government states that the operation was one of
extreme urgency, and that it considered itself entitled to carry it out
without anybody's consent.
The Court can only regard the alleged right of intervention as the
manifestation of a policy of force, such as has, in the past, given rise
to most serious abuses and such as cannot, whatever be the present
defects in international organization, The United Kingdom Agent, in
his speech in reply, has further classified 'Operation Retail' among
methods of self-protection or self-help. The Court cannot accept this
defense either find a place in international law.
Final conclusion of the court:
1) On the first question put by the Special Agreement of
March 25th, 1948,
