摘要
公益诉讼不同于传统的以个人权利为基础的私益诉讼,诉讼主体往往并不是因个人利益受到直接侵害而提起诉讼。美国的公益诉讼制度对于我国法制建设中的公民诉讼有参考和借鉴的意义。在美国的公益诉讼实践中,环境保护方面的公民诉讼最为典型,研究美国法律中关于公民诉讼的规定以及司法实践中的具体做法,对我国公益诉讼制度的确立会产生许多有意义的启示。
The public interest action is different from the traditional private action based on individual rights. In public interest action, plaintiff does not go to court for the interest of himself. Citizen suit in U. S. environmental law is a kind of typical public interest action. The study on U. S. citizen suit will be of great inspiration to the establishment of public interest action in China.
