环保非政府组织当事人适格的评析——以2009年无锡中院中华环保联合会案为例

A Comment on the Qualification as Party in Action of Non-governmental Environmental Organizations:Taking "2009 China Environmental Protection Association Case by Wuxi Intermediate Court" for an Example

随着经济的高速发展,科技的不断进步,逐渐凸显出环境的日益恶化。从法学视角关注环境污染,其特点往往体现出涉及众多当事人权利的保护或者社会公共利益的保护问题。受传统的民事诉讼当事人理论的限制,环境污染纠纷案件往往难以得到高效、合理的解决,难以实现实体法所欲达到的目的。在此背景下,反思既有的诉讼理论和程序制度,采取务实的态度放宽原告资格,当下确认环保非政府组织等为适格当事人,是贯彻落实科学发展观维护社会公平正义的重要举措。

With the rapid development of economy and science and technology,the deterioration of environment is striking the eyes of the public.The concern with environmental pollution from the angle of law can help to focalize on the protection of the parties in action or the social public interest.Restricted by the traditional civil suit party theories,environmental pollution lawsuits were seldom effectively or reasonably settled so that the purpose of substantive law was rarely reached.In this context,the present paper put forward the suggestions of re-examining the present suiting theories and procedures,relaxing the plaintiff qualifications with pragmatic attitude,and confirming the non-governmental environmental organizations as qualified parties to ensure the maintenance of social justice through implementing the conception of scientific development.
