The high contracting party Hellenic Republic (Greece) - - 4 - II. THE MAIN ISSUE The main subject of this complaint is the harmful impact of large- scale environmental pollution on the health of people living in the catchment area of the River Asopos and near the industrial area of Oinofyta, 50 km north of Athens. It also relates to the fact that the Greek state has not taken enough steps to eliminate or reduce these harmful effects and ensure that people can fully enjoy their right to protection of health. - - 5 - ΙII. ADMISSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS a. Jurisdiction ratione personae 1. The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) is an organisation whose aim is to ensure that the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are properly implemented and that unfair laws are abolished. One of its major concerns is the promotion of economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to health and a healthy environment. 2. In accordance with Article 4 of the Additional Protocol to the European Social Charter providing for a system of collective complaints, which was ratified by Greece on 18 June 1998 and came into effect with regard to Greece on 1 August 1998, the complaint is lodged in writing and relates to Article 11 of the European Social Charter, which was accepted by Greece on 6 June 1984, when it ratified the Charter. 3. In accordance also with Articles 1 b) and 3 of the Protocol, the FIDH is an international non-governmental organisation which holds consultative status with the Council of Europe. The FIDH is entitled to take part in collective complaint procedures and is currently registered for the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2014 on the list of INGOs authorised to lodge collective complaints. 4. The complaint lodged on behalf of the FIDH is signed by its President, who, according to the organisation's statutes, represents it in all aspects of - - 6 - civil life and has full power to do so. Consequently, the condition set by Rule 20 of the Committee’s Rules of Procedure is satisfied. b. Jurisdiction ratione temporis 5. Since the Asopos was recognised as a receptacle for liquid industrial waste, the region’s environmental deterioration has continued without interruption. As a result the population groups concerned have been exposed to the polluted water in the river for several decades. For some people the effects of the long term exposure to pollution emerged straight away whereas for others it arose several years after exposure. Greece has been bound by the provisions of the European Social Charter concerning the right to protection of health since July 1984 and signed the Additional Protocol providing for a system of collective complaints in 1998. As the Committee has already stated, in the event of a continuing violation, it is competent to consider facts prior to the entry into force of the collective complaints system. More specifically, it has held that “there may be a breach of the obligation to prevent damage arising from … pollution for as long as the pollution continues and the breach may even be progressively compounded if sufficient measures are not taken to put an end to it”1. Consequently, the Committee is competent to examine this complaint. 1 Marangopoulos Foundation for Human Rights (MFHR) v. Greece, Complaint No. 30/2005, decision on the merits, §193. - - 7 - ΙV. STATEMENT OF THE FACTS 6. The Asopos (or Asopus) is a river in Boeotia (Voiotia), which rises on Mount Kithairon to the south-east of Thebes and crosses Boeotia from west to east. It passes to the north of the ancient city of Plataea then of Parnitha and Attica before flowing into the Euboean Gulf at Chalkoutsi in eastern Attica. At 80 km long, it is the second longest river in Boeotia. It has several tributaries including the Thermidonas, the Spilia, the Patitsiona and the Bithiako. It is also called the Oropos or Vourienis. Asopos river2. 7. In Greek mythology, Asopos was a river god. The River Asopos in Boeotia is often confused in legends with the river of the same name in 2 Dr Yorgos Chatzinikolaou.

Depending on which author one believes3, Asopos was the son of Poseidon and Pero, Zeus and Eurynome or Oceanus and Tethys. Rivers including the Asopos figured prominently among the divinities worshiped by the Greeks. People believed that rivers were the first kings of the flood plains or even the fathers of the peoples living on their banks. According to the accounts of Pausanias, the Plataians regarded Asopos as their first king, who gave his name to the river. Water courses were worshiped both as beneficial forces of nature and sources of life, both literally and metaphorically, in keeping with the belief that they impregnated young women who would come to bathe in the river at dawn. a. The legal framework for discharging liquid industrial waste into the River Asopos and the groundwater in the region of Oinofyta 8. Situated in the Asopos valley is the industrial area of Oinofyta. This area has grown up in a haphazard manner as industries began to establish themselves there from 1968 onwards without the Greek authorities conducting any prior planning or introducing any regional development measures. In other words, until now this has been an informal, unplanned industrial area of 39 000 sq. m4. At the time the two reasons which prompted the industries to settle in Oinofyta were its location only a few hundred metres from the boundary of the region of Attica5 and right next to the major national road link between Athens and Thessaloniki (only fifty kilometres away from Athens) and the fact that the Asopos River could be used as a free natural receptacle for waste, which would then flow down to the sea. That is what happened. In 1969 the river Asopos was officially 3 Theoi Greek Mythology. Asopos (on line).

See below, paragraph 14. 5 The government at the time of the colonels' dictatorship in Greece had announced industrial decentralisation, forcing industries to move away from Attica. - - 9 - designated in a ministerial decision as a “site for the discharge of treated industrial waste”6. Ten years later, in 1979, a further joint prefectural decision was issued, again naming the Asopos River as a “site for the discharge of treated industrial waste”7. Clearly, as the number of industrial plants s in Oinofyta rose (there are now over a thousand8), the more serious the waste problem became. However, the authorities failed to organise the Oinofyta industrial area, establish environmental standards or regulate the discharge of liquid waste. When the Environmental Protection Act (No. 1650/1986)9 was adopted, setting out industries’ environmental obligations for the first time, the authorities avoided the issue of the unregulated dumping of liquid industrial waste. They even continued to grant licences to industry on the basis of a health regulation of 1965 which authorised the surface or underground dumping of industrial waste after minor chemical treatment and with outdated limits on the levels of dangerous substances that such waste could contain10.

  • IMPEL Water Crimes Workshop 24Th October 2018
    IMPEL Water Crimes Workshop 24th October 2018 in the framework of the Conference “Protecting habitats and endangered species in Europe through tackling Environmental crime” Heraklion – Crete (Gr) 22th - 24th October, 2018 Introduction The environment provides the very foundation of sustainable development, health, food security and economies. Ecosystems provide clean water supply, clean air and secure food and ultimately both physical and mental wellbeing. Natural resources also provide livelihoods, jobs and revenues to governments that can be used for education, health care, development and sustainable business models (UNEP/INTERPOL, 2016). Particularly, water, the "blue gold" (BARLOW, 2001) – called for the first time in this way by the National Post in 1999 - is a basic essential of life and a strategic resource for the future of everyone, especially the poorest. Not only is it a vital need for human survival, groundwater has many roles in regulating the structure and functioning of healthy freshwater ecosystems (YOUNGER, 2007) and to flora and fauna. It constitutes the lifeblood of many industries, from tourism to mining, from agriculture to aquaculture. Although more than 70 % of the Earth is covered in water, 97 % is held in the oceans. Of the remaining "not salty" water (3 %), only the 2 % is freshwater locked in snow and ice (e.g. glaciers), leaving less than 1 % accessible for human requirements (US Geological Survey, 2015). Moreover, freshwater is not evenly distributed: only 9 countries share 60 % of the total amount of freshwater, and Amazonia has 15 % of the total resources but only 0.3 % of the world’s population (TOMINI, 2008). While 873 million people lack access to safe drinking water (UN, 2012), some predict that by the year 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in places and under conditions in which water is scarce" (see e.g.

Due to this failure, railway line and highway connection between Athens and central and North Greece were cut off. In this paper, it is attempted to approach the landslide mechanism based on: (i) the ki- nematic data on the failure surface, (ii) the morphological features of the surface, (iii) the movement vectors, and (iv) the lithostratigraphy and hydro-geological fea- tures of the sliding mass. According to the above criteria, three soil blocks can be identified in the landslide mass, which are differentiated by their lithological struc- ture, kinematic features, type of deformation and hydro-geological behavior. The causal factor of the extended landslide was the gradual loss of support of these three blocks and their slide on a pre-sheared surface of low strength that has been caused by the extended excavation in the slope toe. The palaeotectonic structure and the de- velopment and geometry of the geological formations in the landslide area were not taken into account during the construction of the drainage works, for slope stabili- zation and the increasing of safety factor, something which led to the over-designing of the remedial measures.

  • The Myth of the War of the Seven and Pausanias’ Educational Topography*
    THE MYTH OF THE WAR OF THE SEVEN AND PAUSANIAS’ EDUCATIONAL TOPOGRAPHY* Andrej Yu. MOZHAJSKY The article examines the monuments of Thebes mentioned by Pausanias and related to the story of Seven against Thebes. It is claimed that these monuments were a part of the local educational practice, which reflected the Theban mythical history and fostered patriotism. Most of the monuments were located near the gates of the Kadmeia (at a distance of up to 260 m) and formed a close circle of monuments. In some cases, the monuments formed a far circle (at a distance of 300 to 500–960 m from the gates). The first of the mon- uments considered is the monument associated with Amphiaraos. Regarding the place where the earth swallowed Amphiaraos, there exist two traditions, namely the “Theban” and the “Tanagrian” ones. It is hypothesized that the “Tanagrian” tradition was adapted by the residents of Oropos and, thus, reflected in Euripides’ tragedy The Phoenician Women. The educational topography of Pausanias shows that the “Theban” version is consistent with the text of Aischylos’ tragedy Seven against Thebes, while the “Tanagrian” version is con- sistent with the text of The Phoenician Women by Euripides. The lo- cation of the tombs of Melanippos and Tydeus near the Proitides gates also corresponds to the tradition captured by Aischylos, which presumably reflects the local, or “Theban”, version of the myth. Through Pausanias’ educational topography, the connection of the figure of Kapaneus with the Elektrai Gates and the walls of Thebes is emphasized, which is confirmed by the evidence of material culture.
