Senior Chinese leader underlines court orders implementation

Xinhua, September 29, 2016 Adjust font size:

A senior Chinese leader has called on courts to improve work on the implementation of their verdicts in the bid to build a just, efficient and authoritative socialist judicial system.

Meng Jianzhu, head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said during a work conference in Beijing that courts should work to "deter" - through legal means or via news media - those subject to legal obligations but deliberately seek to circumvent the implementation of court verdicts, sometimes even by way of violence.

But the implementation process, meanwhile, should be fully documented, publicized and supervised, he said.

He also called on authorities to speed up the establishment of a "supervision, warning and punishment mechanism" for those who failed to fulfill the courts decisions, and improve enforcement. Endit
