Updated: 2008-02-28 19:02

The white paper introduces the "Judicial System and Fair Administration of Justice" in its sixth part, saying: "The people's court is the judicial organ in China and the people's procuratorate is the supervisory organ for law enforcement."

In the seventh part, the white paper stresses the importance of the "Popularization and Education of the Law."

"For many years, the nation has unremittingly carried out education and publicity of the legal system, promoting the spirit of law and enhancing public awareness," the white paper states.

In "International Exchange and Cooperation in Legal Construction," which is the eighth part, the white paper says that China has referred to and learned from other countries' legislative experience.

The white paper says that China has held dialogues on the rule of law regularly with the United Nations, international human rights organizations and the World Trade Organization.

China has also launched multilateral and bilateral legal exchange mechanisms with the European Union, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the League of Arab States and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as well as with individual countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Australia. These exchanges have greatly enhanced mutual understanding and trust.

In conclusion, the white paper says: "China's legal construction is still facing some problems" and adds that "the task still remains onerous to strengthen education in the rule of law and enhance the awareness of law and the concept of the rule of law among the public."

The white paper says that the Chinese people are going all out to build a moderately prosperous society in all aspects.

Along with the sound, rapid development of the economy and society, the rights and interests of the people will certainly enjoy better protection, it says.

The construction of a socialist country under the rule of law will certainly witness more fruitful results, and China will surely make more contributions to the development and advancement of human society, the paper adds.
