跨国公司投资中的环境法律责任探析——以解决对东道国的损害问题为视角

Analysis on the Environmental Liability of Multinational Corporations in Foreign Investments ——Based on the Solution to Damage of the Host Country

目前,国际环境法对跨国公司的控制都偏"软",不能起到有效作用。不过,现已出现了一些有希望的原则,包括公布有关有毒排放物数据的义务、在行为开始之前进行环境影响评估研究以及母公司对其子公司环境危害行为应负责任等。为了确保外国投资与东道国的可持续发展目标不相背离,应进一步完善国际环境法,使其更好地控制外国投资,以便促进东道国的可持续发展。

At present, International Environmental Law has partial ＂soft＂ control on multinational corporations and cannot work its all function. However, there have been some promising principles, including the obligation of publishing data on the toxic emissions, evaluation on the impact on the environment before action, and the rising awareness that the parent company should be responsible for the environment damage caused by its subsidiaries. In order to make the foreign investment accord with the sustainable development target of the host country, we should improve the international environ- mental law for a better control of foreign investment to promote the sustainable development of the host country.
