China News Service, February 20th. The Information Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate held an online interview with the Director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate on the 20th.
Hu Weilie, director of the Eighth Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, introduced in the interview that the public interest litigation procuratorial system has been fully implemented for five years, and has entered a stage of high-quality development from the initial stage.
From January 2020 to December 2022, the Supreme Procuratorate and provincial procuratorates handled a total of 265 cases, including 12 cases filed by the Supreme Procuratorate and 253 cases by provincial procuratorates. etc. have played a leading and exemplary role.
One is to innovate the case handling mode.
The Supreme People's Procuratorate and provincial people's courts self-handling interest litigation cases involve a wide range of public interest damage issues. There are many departments and levels of administrative agencies, and the case is complicated. Most of them will adopt an integrated case handling model.
This case-handling mode is not only conducive to the deployment of case-handling forces and the integration of case-handling resources, but also helps to realize the complementary functions and advantages of procuratorates at all levels, and timely and effective repair of public damages, which has unique value.
In 2022, the Yangtze River Ship Pollution Public Interest Litigation case filed and handled by the Supreme Procuratorate will adopt the "1+N" model in which the Supreme Procuratorate is in charge of the main case and the procuratorial organs of 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River handle related cases simultaneously. The joint management of the whole river basin has achieved initial results.
The second is to play a leading role.
Many cases handled by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and provincial courts have become guiding cases or typical cases with a general guiding effect. The handling of similar cases has important reference value and reference significance.
In 2022, the 41st batch of guiding cases of the Supreme People's Procuratorate will be released for the first time in the form of "one case per batch" for the public interest litigation case of ecological environment damage in the Wanfeng Lake Basin. Referring to the significance of the applicable rules, it provides a sample for the higher-level procuratorial organs to directly handle public interest litigation cases involving major ecological environment damage across administrative divisions.
The third is to demonstrate the value of the system.
The Supreme People's Procuratorate and the provincial people's courts directly file public interest litigation cases for difficult, complicated or influential public interest damage issues, which not only promotes the resolution of individual public interest damage problems, but also pays attention to common problems within the field, industry, and region, and complements social governance Short board, promote system governance and source governance.
The handling of the Nansi Lake project has promoted the resolution of a number of "old and difficult" problems such as watershed boundary pollution, watershed coal mine pollution, ship and port pollution, significantly improved the ecological environment of the Nansi Lake watershed, and unified the ecological environment governance standards of the watershed. A long-term mechanism for river basin ecological environment governance has been established.
After the Heilongjiang Provincial Procuratorate conducted on-the-spot investigations on the secondary water supply safety conditions of more than 1,000 residential quarters and related enterprises in 139 counties (cities) in the province, it issued procuratorial recommendations to the provincial government, prompting the implementation of special actions for the renovation of urban secondary water supply facilities throughout the province. And contribute to filling the gaps in local regulations.
