Dilemma and Relief of Watershed Environmental Administrative Public Interest Litigation System
Managing eco-environmental issues in watersheds is challenging due to their trans-regional,systemic and complex nature.The rapid development of China's riverine economy and industrialization has aggravated these problems.Although China's Administrative Procedure Law establishes the environmental administrative litigation system for public interest,many problems still arise in practice.Such problems include the misplaced jurisdiction of prosecutors across administrative divisions,the difficulty in promoting the litigation cases of environmental administrative public interest,and the lack of timely relief for ecological damage in watersheds.To address these issues and improve the litigation system of environmental administrative public interest in China's watershed,it is essential to establish specialized prosecution services across administrative divisions,build a cross-regional coordination mechanism and explore a new paradigm for environmental administrative litigation of public interest in the watershed.
