环境民事公益诉讼主体资格的研究

Research on the Subject Qualification of Environmental Civil Public Interest Litigation

目前,在理论界对于人民检察院、行政机关与公民个人是否具有环境民事公益诉讼的主体资格仍有争议。但现行法律已经赋予了人民检察院、法律规定的机关和有关组织相应的主体资格,同时将公民个人排除在适格原告之外。人民法院在具体诉讼中,对上述三个主体的主体资格审查总体呈现放宽、鼓励、支持以及引导的态度。厘清人民法院对于环境民事公益诉讼的主体资格问题,有助于司法实践中裁判标准的统一,也有助于推动相关理论研究的发展。

At present, there are still disputes in the theoretical circles about whether the People’s Procuratorate, administrative organs and individual citizens have the subject qualification of environmental civil public interest litigation. However, the current law has endowed the People’s Procuratorate, the organs and relevant organizations stipulated by the law with corresponding subject qualifications, while excluding individual citizens from the qualified plaintiff. In the specific litigation, the people’s court generally relaxed, encouraged, supported and guided the subject qualification examination of the above three subjects. Clarifying the subject qualification of the People’s court for environmental civil public interest litigation will help to unify the judgment standards in judicial practice and promote the development of relevant theoretical research.
