Development of Watershed Environmental Justice Mechanisms:From Environmental Courtrooms to Environmental Courts
In order to promote the judicial protection of river basin,some local courts in China have established special river basin environmental courtrooms.But from the practice of the watershed environmental courtroom and the watershed environmental circuit courtroom,it can not meet the needs of the overall protection of the watershed,nor can it meet the development needs of the watershed law.The construction of judicial mechanism of river basin in China should be gradually transferred from river basin environmental courtroom to river basin environmental court.The establishment of watershed environmental court is necessary and feasible in the process of environmental judicature specialization.According to the protection concept of river basin law and the requirements of environmental judicial specialization,the construction of river basin environmental court should first set up a reasonable judicial body,and then design a scientific procedural system to provide a strong judicial guarantee for the protection of river basin ecological environment.
