Michael Mason, associate professor at the London School of Economics, says the government remains legally bound by the Aarhus convention after withdrawal from the EU, and by abolishing laws relating to Aarhus provisions the UK would be in breach of the treaty. The UK government may have broken “environmental democracy” law through its failure to carry out public consultation over Brexit legislation, according to a United Nations -backed committee. United Nations is considering a complaint by Friends of the Earth that emphasises that the convention requires public consultation on new environmental legislation. Michael Mason , associate professor at United Nations , argues that the convention remains legally binding even after UK , unless the government withdraws which, he claims, “would be disastrous for Brexit environmental policy.” The government must respond by the day , after which the committee will adjudicate.
