Abstract

Many transnational corporations have been operating in Vietnam, contributing to economic and social development in this country. However, these actors have caused a number of high-profile environmental incidents in Vietnam through the activities of their local subsidiaries, injuring the local community and destroying the natural ecosystem. This paper discloses the causes of corporate environmental irresponsibility in Vietnam. Additionally, this paper argues that Vietnam’s private international law fails to combat pollution in this country. To promote environmental sustainability, Vietnam should improve ex-ante regulations to prevent and tackle ecological degradation effectively. Additionally, this paper suggests that Vietnam should remedy its national private international law rules to facilitate transnational liability litigation as an ex-post measure to address the harmful conducts against the natural ecosystem of international business.
跨国公司与越南的环境污染——实现国际私法在环境保护方面的潜力
许多跨国公司在越南开展业务,为越南的经济和社会发展作出了贡献。然而,这些行为者通过其当地子公司的活动在越南造成了许多引人注目的环境事件,伤害了当地社区并破坏了自然生态系统。本文揭示了越南企业环境不负责任的原因。此外,本文认为,越南的国际私法未能解决该国的污染问题。为了促进环境的可持续性,越南应改善事前法规,以有效预防和解决生态退化问题。此外,本文建议越南应修正其国家国际私法规则,以促进跨国责任诉讼作为事后措施,以解决对国际商业自然生态系统的有害行为。
