韩国环境保护法律机制研究

A Study of the Legal Mechanism of Environment Protection in the ROK

二战后,韩国创造了经济奇迹,同时也带来严重的环境污染和环境破坏。为应对环境问题,韩国构筑了由中央为主导的环境行政管理体制,确立了比较完善的环境法律体系,建立起环境纷争调整制度,律师团体也积极推动开展环境诉讼,最终形成了环境保护法律机制。迄今,韩国在该机制作用下,环境形势出现改观,向"低碳绿色经济增长"的环境与经济相协调的方向发展,为此,韩国总统李明博受到联合国的表彰。但是,韩国的环境保护法律机制仍有改善的空间和余地,尤其环境诉讼制度有待完善。

After the World War II, the ROK government created an economic miracle, which at the same time caused serious pollution and damage to its natural environment. To address the environment issues, the ROK government has set up a legal mechanism to protect its environment, under which its environment situation has improved, although there are still rooms for this mechanism to improve.
