dc.description.abstractThe European Charter on Fundamental Human Rights (“the Charter”) is not concerned about the core topic of contemporary animal law: animal rights. But although the Charter is silentabout animals, it is possible to connect certain human rights it enshrines to animals in amanner that can foment animal rights. The protection of a healthy environment in Article 37 is an obvious choice inasmuch it is backed up by Article 191 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and the European Green Deal’s commitment to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Indeed, there is a growing body of work aimed at harnessing environmental support for the rights of nature in favour of animal rights. In this contribution, I want to suggest a lesser theorized human right in the Charter that similarly has considerable potential to benefit animals: the right to education under Article 14.
