In the context of globalization,serious damage to the natural environment and its deterioration has led to frequent outbreak of large-scale infectious diseases incidents,as well as the global spread.And this phenomenon has become the focus of the whole world. However,emphasis is often placed on the medical issues,when it comes to the issues of infectious disease control,while ignoring the related legal issues.Thence,there are a large number of gaps in research of the international legal system on infectious diseases control.From the current relevant international legislation,the majority of the international laws, in fact,are only indirectly involved in the problem of infectious diseases.Yet international environmental law,as an important component of the international legal mechanism on infectious diseases control,stipulates detailed in control of infectious diseases,which is provided with inherent public health significance and also provides indirect control of infectious diseases.Nevertheless,the international environmental law often remains in the technical details on infectious diseases control and can not be effectively implemented in all countries.Therefore,in order to overcome its limitations and play a greater role in control of infectious diseases,the international environmental law should intervene more directly in the problem of infectious diseases,apply the principles of risk prevention and strengthen international cooperation.This article,from the international environmental protection legislation,profoundly discusses and probes into the role and its limitation of international environmental law in curbing the deterioration and vicissitude of the natural environment and infectious diseases control,opening out the deficiency of the international environment law and its improvement ideas.The author's train of thoughts is:Firstly,control the fountainhead of infectious diseases, change passive treatment to active prevention,and establish the whole system which control infectious diseases from the beginning to the end.Secondly,expound the new processes international environmental law has made on infectious diseases control,based on the "International Health Regulations"(2005).In addition,perfect the system from the perspective of legal sociology,motivate kinds of social subjects' initiative,and strengthen cooperation both between countries and non-governmental organizations.Finally,discuss China's compliance policy and relevant domestic laws perfection about international environmental law on infectious diseases control,and make a conclusion that China should actively participate in the international legal mechanisms on infectious diseases control and roundly improve its domestic law involved,according to "International Health Regulations" (2005) and other international laws and regulations.
