▌The Publicity Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a press conference on July 18 under the theme of “China in the past decade.” Mr. Tong Jianming, deputy secretary of Party leadership group and first deputy prosecutor general of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate attended the press conference. He introduced the progress and effect of legal supervision of the people’s procuratorates in the new era and answered the questions from the press. We will introduce the related procuratorial work in five sections:
▌ The people’s procuratorates have actively exercised our four major functions and strived to make the people feel a sense of fairness and justice in every judicial case. We have worked hard in criminal prosecution and promoted the supervision system “integrating arrest and prosecution” to enhance the quality and efficiency of case handling. We have established an innovative circuit procuratorial system to ensure justice in prisons and detention centers. On civil proceedings, we have paid attention to precise supervision, and handled typical cases with guiding significance for economic and social development in accordance with the law. From 2013 to June this year, 41,000 protests were filed against civil judgments deemed erroneous. Efforts have been made to carry out supervision on administrative prosecution, with 1,762 protests filed against administrative judgments that were deemed erroneous. While handling administrative appeal cases, we have carried out in-depth substantive resolution of administrative disputes, and have resolved 21,000 administrative disputes, including 1,258 disputes that have lasted more than 10 years. Efforts have been made to do a good job in public interest litigation. We have focused on prominent problems that harm public welfare in the fields of ecological environment, food and drug safety, and increased the intensity of case handling. 169,000 cases were filed in 2021, the first year after the public interest litigation system was officially established, which was 1.5 times that in 2018. Following a win-win approach, 98% of administrative public interest litigation procuratorial proposals have been effectively implemented before litigation, and the “China solution” for public interest judicial protection has been continuously improved.
