| Summary: | The article is devoted to the problems of the integrative function of axiology as a special philosophic area which studies the axiological phenomena of objective reality. The analysis of different interpretations of values in philosophical, general legal and ecological sense is fulfilled. The axiological approach in regulation of the right to a favourable (healthy) environment is expressed in its allotment with particular primacy in relation to other main human rights and freedoms. In this article the ecological problems of the Arctic and the questions of its development are examined. Attention is focused on the problems of international cooperation in the field of environmental protection of the Arctic as well as on the ways of preserving its sustainable development. In the present article the ecological situation in Arctic countries is examined in terms of the Arkhangelsk region of the Russian Federation. The significance of law enforcement in protection of ecological human rights and the role of the axiological approach in the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation (CCRF) are investigated. In the article the problems of compensation for damages caused by infringements on ecological law are determined, and an attempt is made at solving these. Significant attention is paid to the necessity of theoreti- cal and practical usage of the axiological approach in the regulation of the right to a favourable (healthy) environment on the international and domestic levels.Keywords: Arctic, axiology, ecology, value, right to a favourable environment, health, best existing technologies.Citation: Arctic Review on Law and Politics, vol. 3, 2/2012 pp. 162–185.
