Research On The Legal System Of Environmental Protection For The Exploration And Development Of Resources In The International Seabed Area

The international seabed area(referred to as the "area")is rich in mineral resources,which is the common heritage of mankind.With the progress of science and technology and the change of the times,human activities in the "area" are frequent.The "area" with human activities begins to have environmental pollution problems,which not only affect the environmental safety but also affect the biodiversity.Although the Convention and other international norms contain provisions such as environmental protection,these contents are far from enough in practical application.How to prevent environmental pollution in the process of exploration and development in the region,and how to protect the environment in the region has become a key problem that each country needs to solve in regional activities.At present,the main reason for this problem is that the environmental protection system in the region is not perfect,and the environmental protection laws in China are not perfect.In order to reduce the national risk,improve the domestic laws and regulations,and fulfill the responsibility of a large country,it is necessary to solve the problem of improving the legal system in environmental protection.This paper starts with the domestic and international environmental protection system of the "region",analyzes the shortcomings of the system from the perspective of environmental protection and puts forward suggestions for improvement,and on this basis discusses the path of regional environmental protection participation in China.It mainly studies the legal system of environmental protection in the region from the following parts:The first part is the introduction,including research background,purpose and significance,research status at home and abroad,writing ideas,research methods and innovations.The second part is an overview of the environmental protection of the exploration and development of resources in the international seabed area,including the overview of the legal system of the international seabed area,the basic theory of environmental protection of the exploration and development of resources in the international seabed area,etc.The third part is the legislative practice of environmental protection in the international seabed area,including the current situation of environmental protection legislation in foreign countries,the responsibilities and obligations of each environmental subject,and the legislative status of environmental protection in the international seabed area in China.The fourth part is the current situation of the exploitation ofmineral resources in the international seabed area and the problems existing in the environmental protection system.The fifth part is the improvement of the international seabed area environmental protection system,which mainly involves the implementation of the "common heritage of human property" system,the improvement of environmental protection and environmental impact assessment system.The sixth part is the development trend of the legal system of environmental protection of regional resources exploration and development and the path of China’s participation.It clarifies the theoretical basis and basic principles of China’s participation in the international exploration and development of seabed resources.It puts forward to strengthen China’s domestic legislation on the environmental protection of international seabed resources exploration and development and strengthen China’s international participation in the environmental protection of international seabed areas And,to improve China’s participation in the international seabed regional resources exploration and development of financial and technical investment in the international seabed regional environmental protection path.
