摘要
在处理环境纠纷的实践中,虽然各种诉讼外解决环境纠纷的方式纷纷涌现,协商、调解、行政处理、仲裁及其混合机制在现代社会中所占的比例越来越大,但是由于环境纠纷的特殊性,诉讼作为最后的、最权威的救济途径,在环境纠纷解决中仍占据着不可动摇的优势。然而,由于相关法律制度的缺失,诉讼在环境纠纷解决机制中所发挥的作用可谓微不足道。与我国环境纠纷呈逐年递增趋势相比,环境诉讼并未呈现出相应的增长。为此,有必要通过扩张原告资格、构建公益诉讼、确立团体诉讼等途径,完善环境纠纷诉讼制度,以有效保护民众的环境权。
The settlement of environmental disputes depends increasingly on a host of non-litigation devices including negotiation, mediation, administrative settlement, arbitration and other derivative methods. However in light of the unique character of the environmental disputes, litigation that still holds an unshakable prior position in settling environmental disputes should be acknowledged as the ultimate and most authorative way to seek remedy. But due to the inadequacy in the relevant legal system, litigation has been playing a marginal role in settling the environment disputes; the year-on-year increase of the environmental disputes in our country fails to bring about a corresponding growth of the environmental litigations. Therefore, in order to give an effective protection to people＇s environmental rights, among others, it is quite necessary to loosen the restrictions on the qualification of the plaintiffs, to encourage the litigation for the public interests, to improve the procedural regime for environmental disputes, and to accept group litigation.
