随着一系列维护国家利益和社会利益的新型诉讼的出现,民事公益诉讼也逐渐成为讨论的热点话题,然而我国民事诉讼法和司法解释并未对此作出规定。本文从民事公益诉讼的内涵、必要性、须克服的障碍以及具体程序的构建四个方面对民事公益诉讼进行了初步探讨,希望我国尽快建立起民事公益诉讼制度,以满足社会现实的需要。 With the advent of a series of new lawsuits to safeguard national interests and social interests, civil public interest litigation has gradually become a hot topic of discussion. However, China’s civil procedure law and judicial interpretation do not provide for this. In this paper, the civil commonweal litigation is discussed from the aspects of the connotation and necessity of the civil commonweal litigation, the obstacles to be overcome and the construction of the concrete procedures. We hope that our country will set up civil commonweal litigation system as soon as possible so as to meet the needs of social reality.
