The Concept of Enforcement of the Right of Citizens to Healthy Environment and Shortcomings of its Application in Russia

The article deals with the concept of enforcement of the right of citizens to healthy environment. Based on the analysis of the Federal Law "On Environmental Protection”, the Federal Law "On Protection of Atmospheric Air" and the Forestry Code of the Russian Federation it is concluded that the mechanism does not fully justify its purpose. The study shows that common social and legal guarantees for the realization of the right of citizens to healthy environment claimed at the scientific doctrine, in practice, cannot be fully applied for all the citizens of Russia. In other words, the mechanism of enforcement of the right of citizens to healthy environment, in fact, is not capable to fulfill the role for which it was intended. It can be stated that the mechanism aims at achieving the opposite goal instead of enforcement of the right to healthy environment, as it provides loosely controlled possibility to use the resources of the environment.
