In China's rule of law system, "one government, one committee, two courts" is a collective term for the four core organs, namely, the Supervision Commission, the courts, and the procuratorate. Each of these institutions has a key function of national governance, and their effective functioning plays a crucial role in maintaining the rule of law and social order in the country. Below, we will delve into the responsibilities and functions of these four institutions and their roles in our country's rule of law system.
*, in our country refers to the state administrative organs, including *** and local people at all levels**. The main responsibility is to carry out and manage the administrative affairs of the State. Specifically, it is responsible for formulating and implementing national policies, managing economic and social development, safeguarding the basic rights and needs of citizens, and maintaining social stability. The work involves all aspects of nation-building, such as economic development, education and health, environmental protection, public safety, etc.
The Supervision Commission is a new body established in 2018 under the reform of the national supervision system, and its main responsibility is to supervise, investigate and deal with violations of law and discipline by public officials. The establishment of the Supervision Commission marks a major step forward in China's anti-corruption work, and the institution has achieved full coverage of the supervision of all public officials exercising public power. The Supervision Commission has not only strengthened its supervision over power, but also improved the efficiency and fairness of its anti-corruption work.
The courts are the judicial organs of the State and are responsible for hearing criminal, civil and administrative cases in accordance with the law. The main duty of the courts is to ensure the correct implementation of the law and the administration of justice. By hearing cases independently and impartially, the courts protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, resolve social contradictions, and maintain social order. The judgments and rulings of the courts have the force of law and are a key link in the realization of legal justice.
The procuratorate is the legal supervision organ of the State and is responsible for exercising procuratorial power. Its responsibilities include initiating public prosecutions, supervising the process of criminal proceedings, supervising the trial activities of the courts, and supervising the investigative activities of the public security organs. The procuratorate also undertakes important functions such as anti-corruption and public interest litigation to ensure judicial fairness and the correct implementation of the law.
In terms of legal status, the "government, committee, and procuratorate" are all produced by the people's congress at the same level, are responsible to the people's congress, and are theoretically equal. However, in practice, due to the different scope of responsibilities and social influence, there are differences in the size and role of their power in national governance.
* As the core of state administration, it directly participates in and implements the day-to-day management and decision-making of the country, and its influence and role are very significant. Although the Supervisory Commission is a newly established body, its role in the fight against corruption and the supervision of public power should not be underestimated. The courts and prosecutor's offices have decisive powers in the judicial sphere, but their functions are more focused on the implementation and supervision of the law.
Therefore, the establishment of "one government, one committee and two courts" reflects the pluralism and balance of China's national governance system, and jointly maintains the country's rule of law and social order through their respective responsibilities and mutual checks and balances. Each institution undertakes an indispensable function and jointly builds a socialist rule of law system with Chinese characteristics.
