The Chinese Ministry of Justice is intensifying its efforts to resolve disputes and maintain social stability by enhancing the role of judicial administrative bodies at all levels. At a recent meeting of the ministry's leading Party members group, officials emphasized the integration of actual work practices to address a series of high-profile public security cases nationwide.
A key focus of the meeting was the enhancement of mediation work by the people. Mediators are being guided to conduct in-depth investigations into common disputes, including those related to marriages, neighbor relations, and inheritance of property. This targeted approach aims to make mediation more effective and responsive to the needs of the community.
Mediators will also collaborate more closely with relevant authorities to address disputes at the primary level and at earlier stages, ensuring that conflicts are resolved before escalating. This proactive strategy is expected to reduce tensions and prevent the escalation of disputes.
The meeting underscored the necessity of absolute security in prisons and drug rehabilitation centers. It called for improved resettlement, assistance, and education for individuals released after serving their sentences, aiming to lower the chances of reoffending and support their reintegration into society.
Additionally, the ministry highlighted the importance of coordinating resources related to lawyers, notarization, judicial authentication, arbitration, and legal aid. By streamlining these services, the goal is to provide more accurate, sound, and efficient legal support, helping people resolve disputes and protect their rights and interests effectively.
