Issues of application of administrative liability for violation of environmental laws

Summary/Abstract: The analysis of legal literature and judicial practice has revealed numerous issues concerning administrative liability for violation of environmental laws. In the Republic of Karelia, for example, such problems are associated with the failure to abide by the sanitation and epidemiological norms related to the population welfare, requirements for housing construction, transport operation, catering arrangements, and environmental safety. That is why, the current legal situation requires clarification of the following definitions: “good environment”, “the harm caused to the environment”, “administrative liability for violation of environmental laws” and etc. On the one hand, “good environment” and “the harm caused to the environment” have already had their legal pre-formulation, on the other hand, the last term is not formalized in present legislation. Moreover, today legal experts do not gear administrative liability to the norms of environmental law, as well as environmental harm – to the absence of administrative law. These categories are usually viewed in reference to each other but in fragments, or in a narrow sense. As a result, it can be stated that the problems of application of administrative liability for violation of environmental laws are among the most critical issues of the Russian reality. Therefore, the identification and resolution of the above-mentioned issues at the appropriate level might facilitate in prevention of unlawful acts.
