Review of Procuratorial Recommendations as a Mechanism for Environmental Administrative Public Interest Litigation

Abstract

The prosecutorial recommendation system for environmental administrative public interest litigation represents a significant innovation in the procuratorial organs’ fulfillment of their legal supervisory responsibilities. This article reviews relevant research and analyzes its development and challenges from the perspectives of institutional attributes, procedural rules, and practical difficulties. The research concludes that while this system combines pre-litigation procedural and independent oversight, it has become a relatively complete system. However, it still faces challenges such as insufficient rigidity, ambiguous standards, and poor coordination. Future efforts should strengthen its legalization, refinement, and coordination to promote its greater role in the rule of law for ecological civilization.
