美国公民诉讼制度已经在保护环境方面取得了实证的效果,它达到了国会立法的预期目的——督促并补充政府的执行行为,阻止污染者的违法行为。这一制度给我国环境公益诉讼制度构建以启示,我国立法可以参考美国环境公民诉讼制度来构建环境公益诉讼的各项机制。 The U.S. citizen litigation system has achieved positive results in protecting the environment. It has attained the intended purpose of congressional legislation by urging and supplementing the government’s enforcement actions and deterring polluters from breaking the law. This system gives enlightenment to the construction of environmental public interest litigation system in our country. Our country’s legislation can refer to the system of environmental citizen litigation in the United States to construct various mechanisms of environmental public interest litigation.
