Keep doing it
The procuratorate that can be felt, experienced, and benefited is for the people
The procuratorial organs "administer justice for the people" for one year.
How to get rid of the domestic violence of a drug-addicted husband for more than ten years? Ms. Huang once thought about jumping off the building, but her concern for her daughter and her fear of death made her turn to the law and the procuratorate to support the prosecution for divorce. This is a request for help, but also a quest for survival.
Strive to make the people feel fairness and justice in every judicial case", this is the concern that the general secretary will never forget, and it is also the fundamental goal of judicial work.
In 2023, the party group of the new Supreme People's Procuratorate clearly proposed to "handle every case with high quality and efficiency", and emphasized "continuing to be a procuratorial work that can be felt, experienced, and benefited by the people" and "ensuring that the procuratorial power is exercised for the people and satisfies the people".
Achieved with case handling
"Palpable" fairness and justice
After receiving Ms. Huang's application in support of suing for divorce, the Jinniu District Procuratorate of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, accepted the case. On the basis of investigation and verification, the prosecutor handling the case quickly grasped the key issue in support of the prosecution - the parties had weak ability to defend their rights and could not obtain evidence to prove domestic violence. As a result, the procuratorate coordinated with the legal aid agency to provide him with a legal aid lawyer, and at the same time obtained evidence from the public security organ that Ms. Huang's husband, Yu, had contracted a drug abuse habit and was forcibly isolated for drug rehabilitation and domestic violence.
On March 14, 2023, the case was heard, and Ms. Huang signed the divorce mediation agreement in court. Nine days later, in a small rental house with a monthly rent of 200 yuan, she received a judicial aid fund through the "green channel" of judicial assistance from the procuratorate. At the same time, a multi-party linkage comprehensive assistance is also being carried out, and the procuratorate contacts the local police station, the anti-narcotics office, the neighborhood office, the education bureau, the school and other units to prevent Yu from obstructing Ms. Huang's normal life, providing Ms. Huang with employment opportunities, and coordinating the reduction and exemption of school after-school service fees and meal fees for her daughter.
Justice for the people means to solve some problems for the parties and provide them with the help they can when handling specific cases, so that they can feel fairness, justice and judicial temperature. This is the simple and direct understanding of "justice for the people" by Zhao Qi, the prosecutor in charge of the case.
Ms Wong's experience is not one of the cases in which she has "felt" the temperature of justice in the past year. According to the reporter's understanding, in order to smooth the people's judicial relief channels, especially to help vulnerable groups with weak litigation ability to sue and protect their rights, from January to November 2023, procuratorial organs across the country accepted more than 90,000 cases to support prosecution. Among the supporters, there are migrant workers who are in a deep dilemma of begging for wages, there are takeaway brothers who cannot receive high-temperature subsidies, there are elderly people who have many children but no one to support them, and there are women who have suffered domestic violence......"Many of the 'small cases' in our eyes are 'big things' for the people. Only when the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of procuratorial case-handling are organically unified with fairness and justice can the people enjoy and effectively exercise their right to sue in accordance with the law. The relevant person in charge of the Sixth Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate said.
Justice for the people has never been an abstract concept, but is embodied in the process and results of each specific case, and in each party's feelings of fairness and justice.
The former garbage dump has become a modern planting and operation of the 'Yellow River Dam Grassland'", "I feel the important role of public interest litigation in protecting the mother river", "'People first' is a highlight of the Shandong procuratorate's public interest litigation procuratorial work to protect the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin", ......From October 24 to 26, 2023, 18 deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), special procurators and representatives of democratic parties lamented after investigating public interest litigation in Shandong to escort the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.
The words on the package insert have become larger; The "119" fire alarm emergency call system has improved the text alarm function, and people with hearing and speech impairments can call for help independently in case of fire; The slope of the accessible wheelchair ramp has been softened; The elderly and other groups can enjoy manual ordering services, and they don't have to be forced to learn how to scan the code to order food......In November 2023, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the China Disabled Persons' Federation jointly released a number of typical cases of public interest litigation for the construction of a barrier-free environment, from barrier-free facilities to barrier-free information and services, and implement the Law on the Construction of a Barrier-free Environment passed in June 2023, so that the people can feel a "barrier-free" better life. Let the people always feel the safety around them, feel the improvement of the environment, and feel the love of "barrier-free", which is exactly the original intention of the procuratorial organs to practice the people's justice.
Through institutional reforms
Build a path that can be experienced
How to establish a "experienced" procuratorial path for the people through institutional and institutional reforms? The prosecution has been working hard.
In August 2023, the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued the 2023-2027 Procuratorial Reform Work Plan, deploying 36 reform tasks in the "six systems". "As a systematic plan and deployment for the procuratorial reform in the next five years, one of its basic principles is to take the people's expectations as the starting point and end point of deepening the procuratorial reform, and take the people's satisfaction as the standard and benchmark for judging the effectiveness of the reform, improve the procuratorial mechanism and measures for the people, and embody and implement the whole process of people's democracy. The relevant person in charge of the Law and Policy Research Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate pointed out. Guided by the people's "ability to experience", each procuratorial business line explores various types of "procuratorial green channels" with distinctive characteristics, convenience and efficiency
In order to more accurately and quickly carry out judicial assistance to parties impoverished due to cases, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the All-China Women's Federation, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, and others have strengthened judicial aid cooperation, carried out special activities, further strengthened the sorting and transfer of aid leads, and completed long-term working mechanisms for aid coordination. Ms. Huang was able to receive judicial aid in the shortest possible time thanks to the "Notice on Deepening the Development of Concern for Difficult Women's Groups and Strengthening Judicial Aid Activities" issued by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the All-China Women's Federation, as well as the relevant "green channel" for judicial assistance.
In order to safeguard the rights and interests of specific groups and strengthen administrative procuratorial supervision, procuratorial organs continue to focus on employment, education, social security, medical care, housing, pension, public security, marriage registration and other fields, and extend the special activities deployed in 2022 to protect people's livelihood and people's interests for one year. In 2023, procuratorial organs across the country will handle a total of 6 administrative procuratorial supervision cases involving people's livelihood and civil benefitsMore than 90,000 pieces.
In order to resolve the contradictions and disputes of the masses involving the law and procuratorate in accordance with the law, and improve the legal mechanism for the petition work in the procuratorial link, the Supreme People's Procuratorate has uniformly deployed and deepened the application of the 12309 procuratorial service system, and established and improved mechanisms such as the transfer of calls and appeals, internal coordination, and supervision and return visits; Explore the establishment of a three-in-one service guarantee system for lawyers' case file reading that integrates "remote file reading, Internet file reading, and on-site file reading"; Improve legal oversight mechanisms for the protection of lawyers' practice rights.
In order to more effectively discover case leads in various fields and better handle public interest litigation cases, the Supreme People's Procuratorate has established a volunteer procuratorial cloud platform for "benefiting the public", guiding procuratorial organs at all levels to invite volunteers to participate in and support the handling of procuratorial public interest litigation, and building a new pattern of public interest protection based on joint construction, joint governance and sharing. By the end of 2023, procuratorial organs across the country have recruited and registered a total of 8 volunteers for the benefit of the publicMore than 60,000 people, volunteers submitted various clues through the platform1More than 90,000 pieces.
Serve! This is the unchanging commitment of the procuratorial organs under the absolute leadership of the Party from the revolutionary years to the present. By building a bridge of communication between the "procuratorate" and the "people", the procuratorial organs allow the people to "experience" the temperature and speed of the procuratorate for the people at any time.
With "three kinds of duties" to ensure the results of "benefit".
Counterfeit well-known brands of liver protection tablets, makeup remover, red wine, chocolate deworming medicine, etc. are piled up in the warehouse, and these fakes are sold to thousands of households through various social software and online platforms. In April and June 2023, the case went through twice**; In September of the same year, 17 members of the counterfeit gang were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and fines for the crimes of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks and selling counterfeit drugs.
While handling the case, the procuratorial organs also guided the public security organs to dig deep into the eight upstream and downstream gangs that made and sold counterfeits, and completely cut off the chain of interests in the production and sale of counterfeit goods. At the same time, since the chocolate insecticide involved in the case was passed off as a non-drug drug, the procuratorate performed its public interest litigation procuratorial function in accordance with the law, and transferred the civil public interest litigation clues to the Guangdong Provincial Consumer Commission in accordance with the procedures after filing and reviewing.
Food and drugs are directly related to the life, health and safety of the people, and counterfeit products not only harm the interests of consumers, but also damage the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises as rights holders. In recent years, due to the rapid development of online sales, counterfeit and shoddy food and drug safety issues in new formats such as community**, online marketing, and live streaming have become particularly prominent. The relevant person in charge of the Intellectual Property Procuratorate Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate pointed out that the case of counterfeiting and selling in new formats involves multiple links such as production and procurement, platform shelves, marketing and promotion, terminal sales and express transportation, and the procuratorate insists on paying equal attention to punishment and governance.
While cracking down on criminal offenses in accordance with the law, it is increasingly becoming a distinctive feature of "justice for the people" in the new era to perform duties in an integrated, comprehensive, and active manner in accordance with the law through means such as civil litigation attached to criminal cases, public interest litigation, and judicial assistance, so that the people can "ensure safety" and "benefit from benefits".
The case of Wang Moumou committing a crime against minors through online means "through the air" handled by the Jiangyin City Procuratorate in Jiangsu Province involved a total of 25 juvenile victims in 15 provinces and cities across the country, reflecting that there were management loopholes in the registration and authentication of the platform, the handling of user reports, and the review of chat content. While pursuing the criminal responsibility of defendants, procuratorates are to persist in comprehensive judicial protections, focusing on the online governance issues behind the case, and flexibly using oversight methods such as public interest litigation, procuratorial suggestions, and procuratorial reminder letters, to promote internet enterprises' implementation of entity responsibility for the protection of minors online, and jointly preserve the lawful rights and interests of minors online.
In a case of malicious wage arrears handled by the Linghai City Procuratorate in Liaoning Province, the defendant Chai Moumou owed a total of more than 10.15 million yuan in arrears to 587 migrant workers, and was sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of refusing to pay labor remuneration. In response to the problems exposed by the case that the relevant departments did not strictly review the qualifications of the project contractor and did not supervise it in place, the Linghai Municipal Procuratorate issued a procuratorial recommendation to the local human resources and social security bureau, urging it to improve the ability and level of labor security supervision in the field of construction engineering, and put an end to the phenomenon of arrears of wages for migrant workers.
Jiang Tianliang, deputy to the National People's Congress and associate professor of Xiangxi Vocational and Technical College for Nationalities in Hunan ProvinceHe pointed out to reporters: "Over the past year, the procuratorial organs have focused on the people's urgent problems and handled many commendable cases. Procurators have interpreted the concept of 'justice for the people' with good professionalism, so that the people's sense of gain, happiness and security has been further enhanced. In particular, in terms of caring for vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly, as well as in protecting the ecological environment and food safety, the procuratorial organs have practiced the 'people-centered' political, ideological and action consciousness with a high sense of responsibility, and have used practical actions to turn each 'small case' into a practical matter of people's livelihood that the people can feel, experience and benefit. ”
