Realizing Criminal Liability of Unit Environmental Crime——A Case Study of Zijin Mining Water Pollution in China

为了更好地惩治环境犯罪,我国《刑法》在第六章第六节中规定了"破坏环境资源保护罪"。但现有单位环境犯罪刑事责任在司法实践中体现出主体范围不确定、是否适用严格责任原则、刑事责任实现方式不足等问题。可通过确定"双罚制"中的责任人员,提高司法效率;引入严格责任原则,减少主观方面认定的困难;增加单位资格刑设置,完善非刑罚措施等解决上述问题,最大限度促进单位环境犯罪的刑事责任的实现。

In order to better punish environmental crimes, China＇s Criminal Law provides for a ＂cr-ime of environmental resources protection destruction＂ in Section Six, Chapter Six. But the criminal responsibility of existing environmental crime units in judicial practice reflected some problems, such as the subject scope is uncertain, whether suit for the principle of strict liability, realization way of criminal liability are insufficient. These problems can be solved by： （ a） Determining responsible personnel in the ＂double punishment＂, improving judicial efficiency. （ b） Introducing strict liability principle, reducing the subjective cognizance of difficulties. （ c） Increasing unit qualification penalty set, perfecting the punishment measures.
