Socialist work on the rule of law, loyal to the party, the country, the people and the law, offers a powerful guarantee of talent to accelerate the construction of a socialist country under the rule of law.
Comprehensive and supportive reform of the judicial accountability system is an important part of the reform of the judicial system, and is related to judicial justice, efficiency and authority. It is necessary to grasp the implementation of the reform task and achieve results, truly “let the trial judges and responsible arbitrators” improve judicial credibility and strive to make people feel fair and equitable in every court case. Strengthening the construction of rural areas under the rule of law is the basic work to implement the rural revitalization strategy and promote the comprehensive rule of law. It is necessary to educate and guide the broad masses of rural cadres and the masses to handle affairs in accordance with the law, find the law in case of problems, solve problems and use the law, resolve contradictions and rely on the law, and promote actively building the rule of law in rural areas. It is necessary to implement the reform plan of the administrative reconsideration system, optimize the allocation of administrative reconsideration resources, promote the review of relevant laws and regulations, and give full play to the system, the advantages of a fair and efficient administrative reconsideration, the convenience for people and the main channel for the resolution of administrative disputes.
Adhere to the combination of high-level design and rule of law practice,
Improve the effectiveness of the rule of law to promote modernization of the national governance system and governance capacities
The medium and long-term objectives of the construction of the rule of law must take into account the international and national situation, the process of construction of the rule of law and the needs of the rule of law of the people, and coordinate with the requirements to promote modernization of the national governance system and governance capacities. We must continue to improve high-level design, continue to innovate and deepen the practice of ruling the country according to the law.
With the development of the times and the advancement of reforms, the modernization of national governance has increasingly urgent requirements for a complete and scientific legal system. We must adhere to and improve fundamental systems, core systems and important systems that have been established and verified by practice, focus on gaps and conflicts in the legal system, and comprehensively plan and promote reform, abolition and interpretation work. . Accelerate the establishment and improvement of the legal system necessary for national governance and meet the growing needs of the population for a better life.
Only through the application of law, justice, efficiency and authority can the rule of law be used effectively in national governance. There is a need to strengthen law enforcement oversight, deepen comprehensive reforms of the judicial system, promote strict, fair and civilized law enforcement, strive to improve the quality, efficiency and credibility of law enforcement and justice, and better transform the advantages of the socialist rule of law into the efficiency of national governance.
Building the rule of law requires the participation of the entire society. Only when all people believe in the rule of law and enforce it, can the country and social life truly function through the rule of law. Today, some leading cadres are still not good at using rule of law thinking and methods to advance their work. The inability of leading cadres to use words to replace the law and the power to suppress the law is the enemy of the rule of law. Leading cadres at all levels must strengthen their awareness of the rule of law, take the lead in respecting the study of the law and law enforcement, and set an example for the implementation of the system. The basis of the rule of law resides in the people. It is necessary to redouble efforts to popularize civil law, promote the spirit of the socialist rule of law, strengthen the concept of the rule of law for all the people, improve the system of public legal services and consolidate the social basis of the rule of law. We must adhere to the combination of ruling the country by law and ruling the country by virtue, integrating core socialist values into the rule of law, improving the long-term mechanism to build integrity, increasing penalties for conduct such as lack of morality and integrity and strive to form good social customs and a social order.
More than 60 years ago, we introduced the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, which were widely recognized and supported by the international community and became the basic norms of international relations and the basic principles of international law. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have proposed the concept of promoting the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, which has generally been welcomed and highly praised by all parties and has been included in a series of UN resolutions. We must build on the trend and act accordingly, firmly uphold the international order and international system with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter at the core, and contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to the reform and construction of the governance system. global.
