Legal Nature and System of State Environmental Policy Acts

The system of state environmental policy acts includes the Constitution of the Russian Federation in respect of environmental provisions, federal laws, decrees of the President of the Russian Federation and regulations of the Government of the Russian Federation. The Constitution as a political and legal act constitutes a fundamental and stable basis for legal regulation in this area. In environmental legislation, environmental policy is determined selectively, not covering all areas of environmental relations. This interferes with a clear understanding of what goals should be achieved as a result of the implementation of the law. It is proposed to restore the practice that existed in Soviet times and used in foreign legislation by including provisions on the goals and objectives of legal regulation in the texts of laws. Strategic planning documents are characterized by weak coherence and fragmentation, an unclear correlation in terms of legal force and areas of regulation. It is proposed not only to make the work of state authorities on the development of environmental policy systematic, but also to codify political and legal by-laws.
