Research on the Plaintiff Qualification of Environmental Administrative Public Interest Litigation in China

在环境行政公益诉讼中，原告资格范围体现了司法权对于行政权力制约的力度和强度，是环境行政公益诉讼的核心问题。本文基于理论分析视角，依托利害关系说、公共信托理论及“私人检察总长”等学说，为公民、社会组织原告资格合法化寻求理论支撑。同时，梳理分析域外西方国家的理论经验，指出检察机关在自身诉讼能力方面的优势以及垄断行政公益诉讼诉权的缺陷，并且应当进一步拓展公民和社会组织等的诉权，以期构建多元化行政公益诉讼原告资格制度。In environmental administrative public interest litigation, the scope of plaintiff qualification reflects the strength and intensity of judicial power’s restriction on administrative power, which is the core issue of environmental administrative public interest litigation. Based on the perspective of theoretical analysis, this paper seeks theoretical support for the legalization of plaintiff qualification of citizens and social organizations, relying on the theories of interest relationship, public trust and “private attorney general”. At the same time, combing and analyzing the theoretical experience of foreign western countries, this paper points out the advantages of procuratorial organs in their own litigation ability and the defects of monopolizing the right of action in administrative public interest litigation, and should further expand the right of action of citizens and social organizations in order to build a diversified plaintiff qualification system in administrative public interest litigation.
