Abstract

The article examines the issues relevant to the doctrine of Environmental and Natural Resource Law related to the object, subject, method of legal regulation. These issues are directly related to the General Theory of Law, in which they are considered as criteria for distinguishing branches in the system of law. Taking into account the specifics of nature, the ecological sphere as an object of legal regulation, including land and other natural resources, the necessity of highlighting the General Theory of Law of Environmental Law as a super-branch, including natural resource branches of law, is substantiated. Taking into account the role in human life and the development of society, Environmental Law as a super branch is recognized in the system of law as the main branch.
