The villagers' committee is the grassroots self-governing organization of our village, which is responsible for the daily management and service of the village. However, it is worth noting that the village committee does not have the power to enforce the law and cannot interfere with the legitimate rights and interests of the villagers, such as house property rights, land use rights, and personal freedom. Here are six examples of actions that village committees may violate the legal red line:
There is no right to determine whether the house is illegal
The village committee does not have the authority to determine the legality of the house, and only the ** department or qualified professional institution can evaluate and adjudicate the legality of the house in accordance with the law. If the village committee judges that a villager's house is an illegal building and takes compulsory demolition measures without legal procedures, it is an illegal act and infringes on the property rights and interests of the villagers.
The personal freedom of the villagers cannot be restricted
Personal freedom is a basic right of citizens, and the village committee has no right to restrict the personal freedom of villagers in any form, such as prohibiting villagers from entering or leaving the village, traveling, or working. If such a situation occurs, the villagers have the right to report the case to ** and pursue responsibility through legal channels.
Villagers' houses must not be demolished without authorization
When it comes to demolition and resettlement, legal procedures must be followed and reasonable compensation must be given to villagers. The village committee does not have the right to unilaterally decide to demolish the villagers' houses, or to carry out the demolition without full consultation and reasonable compensation, otherwise it will constitute an infringement.
There is no right to repossess the land of the villagers
The right to use land belongs to the villagers, and according to the law, the land, including self-reserved land and contracted land, can only be transferred or changed under the condition of complying with laws and regulations. The villagers' committee does not have the right to take back the villagers' land without authorization, or to forcibly buy and sell it under unreasonable conditions, otherwise it will seriously infringe on the villagers' land rights and interests.
It is not possible to sign a compensation agreement on behalf of the villagers
In the process of compensation for demolition and relocation, villagers have the right to participate in decision-making, negotiation and sign compensation agreements independently, and the village committee has no right to ** villagers to sign agreements or force villagers to accept unfair compensation terms. If such problems arise, villagers should actively use legal means to protect their rights and interests.
It does not have the right to decide on the payment of funds alone
The compensation shall be distributed fairly and transparently in accordance with laws and regulations and the principle of consensus between the two parties, and the village committee shall not have the right to privately decide, delay, withhold, embezzle, or privately divide the compensation money. Villagers can also seek legal assistance to protect their economic interests from being harmed by such violations.
In summary, although the village committee is a village-level autonomous organization, its authority is limited and it must exercise its duties within the framework of the law. As a villager, it is important to understand and defend your legitimate rights and interests. We encourage villagers to communicate and cooperate with the village committees in a rational manner, and at the same time supervise the village committees to perform their duties in accordance with the law, so as to jointly build a harmonious, orderly, fair and just rural community environment.
