Striving to Let the People to Feel That Justice Is Done in All Legal Cases

An impartial judiciary is an important component of developing law-based governance in China. During the fourth collective Politburo study session of February, 2013, Xi Jinping made "striving to let the people feel that justice was done in all legal cases" the goal of the work of politico-legal agencies and an explicit requirement for them. This is an inevitable requirement of China's socio-economic development as well as the heartfelt desire of the people. 

Openness of judicial proceedings is of the utmost importance if people are to feel that justice is being served. For a plaintiff to feel justly treated during a trial, the principle of open judicial proceedings must be thoroughly implemented. Courts at all levels must handle each case properly; in particular, complex, difficult and sensitive cases of current social concern must be handled especially well. They must devote more attention and effort to improving the quality of the process in each case; they must look to the people and focus on facts and details in order to ensure a just decision in every single case. By rendering just decisions in thousands upon thousands of cases, trust in the judiciary will grow and its authority will increase, enabling the people to feel a greater sense of justice being done.

努力讓人民群眾在每一個司法案件中都能感受到公平正義

公正司法是法治中國建設的重要環節。“努力讓人民群眾在每一個司法案件中都感受到公平正義”，是習近平2013年2月在中央政治局第四次集體學習時，對政法機關提出的努力目標和明確要求，體現了中國經濟社會發展的必然要求和人民群眾的殷切期待。讓人民群眾感受到公平正義，司法公開至關重要。讓當事人在審判過程中感受到公平正義，必須全面落實司法公開原則。各級法院就要把每一個案件審理好，尤其是對當前社會關注的一些復雜、疑難、敏感案件，各級法院更要審理好。要把更多的注意力和著力點放在如何提高每一個具體個案的審判質量上來，俯身向下，抓實抓細，確保每一起具體個案都能得到公正裁判。通過成千上萬個個案的公正裁判，匯聚司法公信、提升司法權威，讓人民群眾感受到更多的公平正義。
