Legal Liability for Non-Performance of Environmental Obligations in CIS Member States: Environmental Rights Enforcement Guarantee

The article is devoted to the study of administrative and criminal liability for non-observance of environmental rights in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States as a guarantee of ensuring environmental rights. The author draws attention to the study of objects, in relation to which administrative offenses are most often committed in the CIS countries and subjects that can be brought to criminal liability to a greater extent. As part of the study, a number of features of objects in Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan were identified for violation of which negative consequences for public health may occur. In the course of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that legal unsettledness regarding objects and subjects of environmental offenses and crimes can lead to ineffective protection and defense of environmental rights.
