On the legal regulation of environmental audit
// Law and Politics.
2024. № 10.
P. 88-98.
DOI: 10.7256/2454-0706.2024.10.69392 EDN: ZLOHCB URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=69392
Abstract:
This article discusses the issues of legal regulation of environmental audit as a procedure for independent assessment of the environmental activities of enterprises and organizations and the negative impact of business entities on the environment. Attention is also paid to the goals and objectives of this legal mechanism as one of the types of preventive regulation in the field of environmental protection. The subject of the research were acts of a normative and non-normative nature containing any norms on environmental audit: the Federal Law "On Environmental Protection", decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, international and Russian standards. Special attention was paid to the issues of mandatory environmental audit, due to the fact that different authors divide environmental audit into such types as voluntary and mandatory, by analogy with financial audit. In order to study this legal mechanism, we have reviewed the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation, as well as international standards, and conducted a comparative analysis of them. It is shown that despite the obvious advantages of conducting an audit – both for the organization itself (reducing external costs, identifying and eliminating the causes of environmental offenses) and for maintaining a favorable environmental quality, this mechanism practically does not work in Russia due to the lack of detailed legal regulation. Based on the results of the review of legal acts in which there are norms on environmental audit, it can be noted that such norms are only declarative in nature, do not have any implementation mechanisms. In terms of mandatory and voluntary audits, it is concluded that there are no requirements for mandatory environmental audit in Russian legislation. At the same time, the lack of regulation of the mechanism for the implementation of environmental audit and the requirements for the procedure for its conduct create certain difficulties for enterprises making decisions on voluntary environmental audit.

Abstract:
The object of the study is the relations of environmental management in the Micronesian states, the subject is the legislation and doctrine in the field of exploitation of natural resources of the countries of Micronesia: Wake Island, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariinsky Islands, the Territory of Guam, the possessions of the United States of America. The author examines the features of the state natural resource mechanism in the listed jurisdictions. The article examines the institution of ownership of natural resources, the permissive procedure for the use of natural objects. In addition, the author addresses the problems of implementing the norms of international maritime law, explores the legal regime of the Micronesian waters. The work completes the "Oceanic Sonata" in the theory of natural resource law of foreign countries and takes it to the next scientific level, qualitatively raising the "bar" for followers. The relevance of the research is due to the theoretical and practical significance of the content of the article, which reflects domestic interests in Oceania. The author in the article operated with dialectical, logical, historical, formal legal, comparative legal, deduction, induction and other methods of cognition. The scientific novelty of the presented work lies in the originality of the conclusions and the work itself, which contains fundamentally new information on the subject of research. Legal publications about Micronesia are insignificant, "living classics" is presented to your attention - one of the few Russian scientific articles about this Pacific region, while the available works are largely outdated, and some jurisdictions are covered in the domestic sciences for the first time. The author discusses with foreign scientists, analyzing foreign doctrine and legislation, and suggests using the experience of the United States of America in the Russian Federation. At the same time, violations of the norms of international maritime law in the Pacific Ocean are noted, as well as cases of declaring the existence of an exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf of the United States of America in the waters of sovereign States and unoccupied atolls, but also their inclusion in the American Empire as possessions of the United States of America, acting as a possessor of other States.

Abstract:
The subject of the article is the provisions of strategic planning documents in the field of ensuring national, environmental, energy and economic security, as well as the provisions of strategic planning documents dedicated to the Russian Arctic. The purpose of the work is to study the above-mentioned documents, identify environmental conflicts consisting in their provisions and develop proposals for their resolution and prevention. The methodological basis of the study is based on the system of methods, means of cognition and logical techniques, in the process of work general scientific, private and special methods were used. Such as synthesis, analysis, deduction, analogy, induction, formal legal and others. The relevance of the research topic is indicated by the fact that the Arctic plays an important role in ensuring Russia's strategic national interests in such areas as the economy, transport, environmental protection, defense, and a number of others. Many aspects of Russia's national security depend on the state of the environment of the Russian Arctic, as well as on the implementation of economic activities on its territory, therefore, the resolution and prevention of environmental conflicts concerning this region is an important and urgent task, since without a balance of interests in this area, both the sustainable development of the Russian Arctic and preservation of its unique natural environment seems unlikely. The paper concludes that in order to resolve the main law-making environmental conflict that takes place in the strategic documents under consideration, it is necessary to exclude from the list of threats (challenges) to economic and energy security such a factor as redundancy of requirements in the field of environmental safety and the increase in the costs of their implementation. In turn, in order to ensure a balance of interests in the implementation of nature management and environmental protection in the Russian Arctic, it is proposed to use the best available technologies, as well as the natural and ecological framework of the territory.

Problems of attribution of information in the field of agriculture to environmental information

Abstract:
Environmental protection and agriculture are related areas of legal regulation, closely interrelated and mutually dependent. The systems of information in the field of agriculture and information on environmental protection overlap in terms of assessing the condition of land and other natural resources used for agricultural activities, and in terms of assessing the negative impact of such activities on the environment. The purpose of the study is to determine the content and significance of environmental information as part of the information that is indicated in the acts of agrarian legislation. In the work, the author applied methods of comparison, analysis, synthesis of information. It is established that in the legislative acts regulating relations in the field of agriculture, information and information support, as a rule, are allocated structurally, terminologically, meaningfully. It is concluded that giving specialized information in the field of agriculture the status of environmental information increases the level of accessibility of information. At the same time, the legislation on environmental protection implements the concept of specifying environmental information in the list approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. This approach is associated with the problems of attributing certain information concerning the state of the environment specified in agricultural legislation to environmental information, despite their ecological content.

Abstract:
The Federal Law "On the Transfer of Lands or Land Plots from One Category to Another" (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 172-FZ) was adopted in December 2004. Since then, the socio-economic situation in the country and the legislation have changed significantly. However, they were not actually reflected in the Law, since only minor changes were made to it during almost 19 years of operation of the law. Over the past time, a lot of experience has been accumulated in theoretical understanding and practical application of this law, which is discussed in this article. The author does not pretend to be a comprehensive disclosure of the topic, since it is impossible to do this in one article. Nevertheless, the article reflects the author's position on a number of controversial issues of the theory and practice of legal regulation of the relations under consideration.The scientific novelty of the work consists in the study on the basis of formal legal and comparative legal methods of the latest judicial practice, the formulation of proposals to eliminate the legal uncertainty identified in the course of the work of some concepts used in the Law and other proposals to improve legislation in the field under consideration. In the light of solving the problem of rational use of agricultural land and preventing the unjustified disposal of agricultural land from use in the agricultural sector, the scientific understanding of controversial theoretical and practical issues of the transfer of these lands to lands of other categories is of particular relevance.

Possibilities of Implementation of the Ecological and Legal Mechanism of Environmental Protection for the Regulation of Economic Activity in the Coastal Territories of Lake Baikal
// Law and Politics.

Abstract:
In the environmental legislation of the Russian Federation, designed to regulate public relations about nature, the concept of nature protection is a priority. Lake Baikal is a territory with special conditions of use, with unique natural characteristics and a powerful system of ecological and legal regulation of public relations in the field of environmental protection. For effective planning and regulation of economic activity in the coastal territories of Lake Baikal, it is advisable to involve an ecological and legal mechanism for environmental protection, which allows unambiguously determining the priority right to use the territory, relying on environmental legislation and protecting the rights of nature in resolving conflict situations. The use of the legal environmental zoning tool, which significantly enhances the ecological and legal mechanism by means of cartographic visualization, implemented with the involvement of geoinformation systems, allows us to simultaneously display the effect of all regulatory and legal restrictions on a specific area of the territory. This makes it easy to navigate the legislative space manifested on the ground, taking into account the characteristics of the territory, determine the priority right to use the territory and find the optimal permitted option for conducting permitted activities. So, on the example of the Slyudyansky district of the Irkutsk region, a comparison of the categories of legal zoning with maps of real use of resources was carried out, which clearly showed contradictions in real and permitted use. The visual implementation of the ecological and legal mechanism and the possibility of improving environmental management is shown, through the introduction of a mechanism that allows to identify violations in the regulated use of the territory in an operational mode, ensuring safe rational use of natural resources through the search for the optimal use of different areas of the territory.

Abstract:
The research subject in this article is the international and national practice of regulation and implementation of activities in the field of tourism in the Central Ecological zone of the Baikal Natural Territory. Based on the materials from the authorities as part of the analysis of the impact of tourism activities on the ecosystem of the "Lake Baikal" World Heritage site, conclusions are formulated about the possibility of deterioration of its ecological state and the emergence of social tension in the event of an increase in the number of tourists on its shores. The content of guidelines on the organization of tourism at UNESCO World Heritage sites is disclosed, and the most successful international practices of tourism management are correlated with the implementation of regional programs for the development and organization of sustainable tourism. The conclusion is formulated about the importance of collecting information about the tourist infrastructure and statistical data. The program documents defining the policy in the field of tourism in the Central ecological zone of the Baikal Natural Territory are analyzed, and the conclusion is made that there is no unified strategy for the development of Baikal as a World Heritage site. The factor of significant influence and participation of the local population in the implementation of tourist activities is noted, and the need for the involvement of the local population in the planning of tourist activities is indicated. The main content of the Global Initiative to Reduce Plastic Consumption in Tourism and recommendations for improving procurement activities in the tourism sector are revealed. The problem of compliance with moral and ethical requirements by stakeholders in tourism is noted as an underestimated problem. The study resulted in recommendations both on the modernization of the existing domestic regulatory framework and the development of new documents in the field of sustainable tourism.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is a set of legal norms regulating social relations that arise in the context of use and protection of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The goal lies in formulation of the conclusions and recommendations for the improvement of legal regulation in this sphere. The relevance of the selected topic is substantiated by interest of the state in the development of Arctic Zone as a strategic resource base for accelerating the economic growth of the Russian Federation. Among the priority national interests are also the environmental protection of region, conservation of the native habitat and traditional way of living of the indigenous small-numbered peoples. This emphasizes the importance of intensification of use and preservation of the vulnerable areas of the region. The author dwells on the current issues of the formation of territories of traditional management of natural resources and legal status of their lands; rights of the indigenous peoples to land in their native habitat and traditional economy; provision of land plots to entrepreneurs who are the residents of the Arctic Zone; protection of the Arctic lands, etc. The conclusion is made on the existence of gaps and contradictions in legislation of the indicated sphere, which requires revision and improvement. This pertains to the questions of formation of the territories of traditional management of natural resources, maintenance and modification of their boundaries, establishment of the special protection regime in the federal law, etc. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the adopted simplified procedure for providing entrepreneurs who are residents of the Arctic Zone with land plots aimed at expansion of the development of natural resources of the Arctic, may negatively affect the status of lands and overall fragile environment of the Arctic Zone, and thus, lead to infringement upon the interests of the local population, including the indigenous peoples. The author formulates a number of recommendations for the improvement of legislation, among which is the amendments to the Paragraph 2 of the Article 39.34 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation on the establishment of highly restricted cases of termination of permits using the land plots by the indigenous small-numbered peoples.

DOI: 10.7256/2454-0706.2016.1.52579 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52579
Abstract:
This article examines the experience of the Russian Federation and foreign countries in the area of comprehensive natural resource management. It is noted that the current system of licensing for natural resource management in the Russian Federation has a number of flaws. Firstly – federal, regional, and local level of licensing for natural resource management is conducted by separate branches of executive power, each of which presents their own requirements. Secondly, there are no unified requirements for the applicants. Thirdly, the lack of a comprehensive approach in the cases where the licensed activity affects other natural objects than those licensed for use. The scientific novelty consists in original comparative-legal analysis of the institution of comprehensive natural resource management that existed in Russia until 2002, and the new institution introduced on January 1, 2015 in accordance with the Federal Law from 07.21.2014 No. 219 “On Introduction of Amendments to the Federal Law “On Environmental Protection” and separate legal acts of the Russian Federation”.

DOI: 10.7256/2454-0706.2015.5.52426 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52426
Abstract:
The article examines the issues of legal regulation of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the Caspian Sea. The application of this preventative mechanism becomes especially relevant in light of the growing anthropogenic impact upon this region. The article analyzes not only the corresponding international legal treaties, but also the national legislation of the littoral states on this procedure, taking into account the peculiarities of the legal status. A special attention is given to the comparative analysis of the Protocol on the Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context of the Framework Convention on Protection of the Environment of the Caspian Sea, Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context of 1991, and the Guide to Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance in a Transboundary Context of the Caspian Sea region. The author concludes that the enactment of the Protocol on the Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context would be a positive step, while at the same time the effectiveness of realization of its positions would largely depend upon the degree to which the Caspian States can harmonize their national legislation with the EIA.

Abstract:
This article discusses the problematics of the legal status of laboratory animals as a separate category of legal objects. The
subject of this research is the Russian legislation in the field of regulation on the laboratory animals used in experiments. Despite
the propagation of the humanistic principles and ideology of gentle attitude towards nature, there is still insufficient progress made
in resolving this problem. This research discusses the bases that substantiate the specific nature and significance of this issue within
the modern legal system. This work presents all the main positions of legal regulation on the use of animals in scientific experiments,
which until now was only partially described in the works of modern researches. This category of animals does not fall under the
faunistic legislation, but the specific manner in which they are used is not subject to the norms of the civil law. The special legislation
that applies in this case is still at a stage of development within the Russian Federation.

Abstract:
The problems of the implementation of institution of civil-legal responsibility for damages to the environment become the
subject of this research. The author presents the issue of the limitation of principles and norms of the civil legislation in regulation of
the environmental relations. Analyzing the category “environmental harm” from the position of interests protected by law, the author
focuses her attention on the fact that inflicting damage to the environment simultaneously infringes on both, the public environmental
interests, and the property rights of private parties. In cases of conflict of interests often emerges the problem of prioritizing protection.
Based on the analysis of the acting legislation and legal practice it is evident that the institution for reimbursement of environmental
damages does not fulfill its main compensational and restorative function. The author draws a conclusion that in addressing the requests
for compensation of environmental harm it is necessary to limit the type of protect such as reimbursement of losses.

Abstract:
The article concerns the issues of legal regulation in the sphere of renewable energy resources and environmental
protection in the USA. This is a topical issue both for the USA and for the entire world, since the issues of exhaustion of
mineral resources and energy carriers in particular are also very topical, so are the issues of environmental protection.
Both the USA and most of the Western states started taking the matters of renewable energy resources seriously in 1970s
due to the energy crisis. The Government of the USA takes measures in order to stimulate scientific research in the sphere
of renewable energy resources, production and use of such energy. The analysis of the US legislation in this sphere allows
one to say that the energy policy of this state is aimed at higher energy efficiency and energy saving, development of
renewable energy resources. In the last three decades the activities of the federal government in this direction achieved
significant results.

Abstract:
The object of studies concerns the energy saving activities as type of entrepreneurial activity. The immediate object
of studies defined the need to achieve the goal of the study: to reveal the contents of the term “energy saving activities”, to
resolve the issue of the possibility to single out the energy saving activity as a separate type of economic activity, establish
elements of energy saving activity. In the course of studies the author analyzed the provisions of the Federal Law of November
23, 2009 N. 261-FZ “On energy saving and improvement of energy efficiency and on the amendments to certain legislative
acts of the Russian Federation”. The article employs general scientific and special legal methods of studies, namely, systemic,
logical, dialectic, historical, structural-functional, formal legal, comparative legal, legal modeling, observation, description,
documents analysis and other scientific cognition methods. Based upon the analysis of normative acts, doctrinal sources and
materials the author provides a conclusion on the formation of a separate direction of economic activity – energy saving
activity. The author then offers the definition of the energy saving activity as a combination of the activities of an economic
subject, which are aimed at achievement and preservation of the energy saving regime based upon efficient and rational use
of resources. The article provides key elements characterizing the energy saving activities and reflecting its specificities.

Abstract:
The necessity of the realization and protection of fundamental rights and freedom of citizens became actual
in the twentieth anniversary of the Russian Constitution. The article examines the legal problems of ensuring access to
environmental information, including the realization of the constitutional right of citizens to reliable information about
the state of the environment. Access to such information is a condition for the realization of other constitutional rights of
citizens – the right to a healthy environment, to damage compensation caused to their health or property by any environmental
offense, as well as the right to health protection. The guarantee of access to the environmental information should
constitute Russia’s accession to the Aarhus Convention. Due to this fact there are some suggestions to improve environmental
law, taking into account foreign experience. A comparative analysis of the Russian ecological, sanitary-epidemiological,
information and other legislation, as well as foreign legislation in the field of environmental information, providing
access to environmental information in accordance with the provisions of the Aarhus Convention, has been made. The
improvement of Russian legislation, aimed at the legal regulation of relations in the field of environmental information in
a systematic manner, has been proposed. The necessity of development and adoption of the federal law on environmental
information is proved, its structure is given, the composition of environmental information is determined, the proposals
have been made to align the sub-legislative regulatory legal acts with this law, as well as to increase the effectiveness of
administrative responsibility for offenses in the field of environmental information and to fill the existing gaps.
Keywords:

Formation of a global environmental policy:
achievements, errors and risks

DOI: 10.7256/2454-0706.2013.9.52042 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52042
Abstract:
The author evaluates the global environmental policy as a system of political management of environmental
situation and global allocation of natural resources with the participation of global political actors and global goalsetting.
The article shows the key stages of the formation of global environmental policy in its current forms, as well as
the systemic roots of the social and political conflict regarding the international political activities in the environmental
sphere. The author expresses an opinion that the lack of efficient international cooperation on environment protection
issues is due to the conceptual lop-sidedness of the modern sustainable development strategy, since in practice
it allows for the functioning of a range of social and economic sub-systems within the frameworks of outdated models
of non-sustainable development. In spite of the fact that organized international environmental activity was formed
before the concept of sustainable development, one may discuss the so-called sustainable environmental policy within
the framework of a complex strategy of civilization transfer to sustainable development, defining its fundamental principles
and contents.
Keywords:

Environmental policy in the sphere of industrial

DOI: 10.7256/2454-0706.2013.8.52030 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52030
Abstract:
The article includes analysis of the environmental policy as well as the legal regulation in the sphere of industrial
production and consumption waste treatment at the federal and regional level. The author points out the shortcomings in the
federal legal regulation, provides analysis of the possible amendments to the federal legislation on waste, and analyzes regional
legislation in this sphere. The legal basis for the treatment of industrial production and consumption is provided for by the Federal
Law of July 24, 1998 N. 89-FZ “On industrial production and consumption waste”. However, while its provisions were novel in
the 1990s, currently this law fails to resolve the topical problems in this sphere. Its provisions do not meet the challenges of the
current environmental situation in Russia. Many of its provisions do not correspond with the modern international, European
and foreign legislation. The contents of federal legislation on waste is developed, complemented and specialized within the
constituent subjects of the Russian Federation. More than 30 constituent subjects have passed regional normative legal acts
in the sphere of waste treatment, which is quite valuable, since it is impossible to have a uniform law, which would take into
account specific features of all of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation.

Abstract:
The article answers the question about the criteria
for defining the amount of compensation for moral damage
caused as a result of environment offence. This is a topical issue
because the Russian legislation has a whole range of criteria
for defining the amount of compensation for moral damage.
At the same time, special features of moral damage caused as
a result of environment offence allow us to define additional
criteria for defining the amount of moral damaged caused as a
result of environmental offence.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the topical issues of distinguishing the
powers of the state controlling bodies in the sphere of hunting
and rational use of hunting resources. The author comes to
a conclusion that frequent reorganizations of stat bodies,
as well as often ungrounded shifts of powers and spheres of
responsibility lower the efficiency of regulation in this sphere.
There is need to form an independent federal executive
body, which would be specially empowered in the sphere of
hunting and protection of hunting resources, which would be
subordinated to the Government of the Russian Federation.

Abstract:
Modernization of agricultural production is an inalienable part of the economy of the state, and it presupposes not only introduction
of innovative methods of its organization, management and functioning, but also use of the classic well-recommended instruments,
such as placement and specialization of the agricultural production. However the practice shows that mass ignorance of
this heritage in the rural area. It’s not always that the free market motivates the producer for correct, effi cient and stable work.
In such cases the role of legal regulation of placement and specialization of the agricultural production is especially important.
Unfortunately after the breakup of the Soviet Union the Russian Federation lacks the effi cient system of legal regulation in this
sphere, which establishes the topicality of the studies in this sphere.

Abstract:
Russia joined the WTO, and it raised the topicality of the issue of competition in the agricultural production, especially
crop raising in Russia. One should take into account loss of foodstuffs security and dependency on imported agricultural
products. One of the key reasons for the Russian agricultural production falling behind is imperfection of its legal regulation.

Abstract:
The limited resources and changes of climate of Earth made both scientists and politicians at international and national
level deeply worried by the protection of the interests of the future generations, due to which the concept of the rights of
the future generations was formed. Under this concept the theory of fairness in relations between generations and the
principle of responsibility of the current generation towards the future generation have appeared and were enshrined in
the international law and national constitution, upheld by the judicial bodies. In spite of the fact that the future generations
cannot protect their rights and interests themselves, the current legal practice shows the right to address the court for the
benefi t of the future generations. One should regard as effi cient measures for the protection of the future generations the
establishment of provisions of the national legislation on the obligations of the state to take into account the interests of
the future generations when establishing the policy or the development strategy. It is also necessary to create at both national
and international level the institutions analogous to ombudsmen, which would represent the interests of the future
generations.

The article is devoted to the problems of the institution of criminal responsibility for the ecological crimes, including pollution of environment. The topicality of the issue has to do with the low statistical data on the quantity of persons, brought to the criminal responsibility for these actions. This issue is topical due to the annual worsening of the situation in the sphere of ecology in spite of all the efforts of the state to ensure ecological security.

The problem of finding reasonable balance in the relations between an individual and nature is a new challenge of our time. The nature is a natural basis for the life of the society and, the society humanizes the nature within the process of material production. Interdependence of society and nature leads to objective relations on rational use of natural resources, which in turn call for understanding of objective laws of such interaction, including the legal regulation of such relations.

In spite of the long history and detailed regulation, the institution of provocation still changes in order to be perfected, that is why its analysis is quite topical.

Abstract:
The Russian Federation possesses the largest amount of forest resources in the world. However, the sheer amount in itself is not capable of guaranteeing either high profits or growth of forest-related industry. The Concept of forestry development of the Russian Federation for the years 2003-2010, as approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, contains the statement, according to which the forest resources are used ineffectively. A.A. Sedov’s article includes anlysis of objects of forest-related legal relations, problems of lease of forest land, right for free of charge use of forest by agricultural organizations, state’s role in forest management. Author notes that codification of forestry legislation should provide solutions to problems related to the sharing jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its subjects in the sphere of forestry and forest management, and also specific provisions as to the powers of the municipal bodies in this sphere.
