Cultural relics crimes such as ancient tombs at ruins, the theft of stone carvings from cave temples, theft of ancient buildings and their components, theft of museum memorials and the theft of rubbings and stone inscriptions, as well as legal person illegal activities such as destroying and destroying cultural relics and their appearance, are the focus of crackdown.
The second is to adhere to joint prevention and control, establish and improve the joint construction work mechanism, strengthen the construction of prevention forces and facilities, jointly carry out public security inspections, and organize a dense public security prevention and control network.
The third is to adhere to source governance, supervise the implementation of the main responsibility of the government, the supervision responsibility of departments and the direct responsibility of safety management, carry out law enforcement supervision and safety inspection, and rectify potential safety hazards.
The fourth is to insist on strengthening the foundation, guiding the strengthening of the construction of safety protection facilities, improving the safety standard system, and improving the security capabilities and levels of cultural relics and museums.
The fifth is to insist on improving the mechanism. All relevant units establish and improve the collaborative working mechanism, study and solve major and difficult problems, and work together to support the work of combating and preventing cultural relics crimes.
In order to ensure the effective implementation of various tasks and measures, the "Plan" requires the strengthening of organization and leadership, the establishment of a national working group for combating and preventing cultural relics crimes, and the establishment of corresponding special teams for combating and preventing cultural relics crimes.
All regions and departments strengthen coordination and cooperation, implement regular coordination meetings, carry out joint supervision and inspection, etc., and effectively form a joint force.
At the same time, increase publicity, guide the whole society to actively participate in the work of preventing and combating cultural relic crimes, and create a good social atmosphere.
