Legal Discussions About Folks' Rescue and Relief Efforts from Perspective of Wenchuan Earthquake Disaster: Concurrently Talking About How to Improve Legislation Concerning Volunteers

民间救助是抗震救灾不可忽视的力量,是国家应急机制的重要组成部分。民间志愿者专业、理性与多元化的救助行动体现了对生命权的尊重。志愿者救助行动具有非政府性、公益性、自愿性、无偿性、随意性、义务性等法律特征。"汶川震灾"的民间救助呼唤加快志愿者立法。

＂Wenchuan earthquake disaster＂ once again challenges the folks＇ rescue-and-aid system in our emergency laws. Rescue and aid offered by folks is a force that is not to be ignored in fighting the earthquake disaster. This force is an important part of our country＇s emergency mechanism. Folk volunteers tried all possible means to provide professional and rational rescue and aid to victims, and they showed respect for the fight to life. Their actions are non-governmental, voluntary and non-compulsory, gratuitous, optional and for the public good. Folks＇ rescue and relief efforts after ＂Wenchuan earthquake disaster＂ call for quickening legislation concerning volunteers.
