浅议信访法治化新体制

Comments on the New Xinfang System from the Perspective of Rule of Law

狭义的信访法治化包括:信访"良法"至尊及其严格执行;涉法信访问题的司法裁决具有最高权威性;信访权利的有效救济等。新《信访条例》存在一些令人忧虑的地方,可能成为阻塞信访渠道的因素。笔者主张以各级人大会议为平台,以信访机构的合理定位为基点,以合理的信访层级结构为基础,以信访机构的独立调查为依据,以法定监督手段为工具,以民主和公开性为原则,以政治法律制度的改革为保障,创建信访法治化新体制。

From the narrow perspective of rule of law the xinfang system must include the following features:The xinfang law should be effective and strictly implemented;the decisions of the courts should be applied to all legal issues;and xinfang rights should be effectively protected.The new 2004 State Council xinfang regulations may have some shortcomings,that is,a lack of effective ways to protect xinfang rights.The author suggests a new xinfang system by making the National People's Congress system at every level a platform for the xinfang system,making the xinfang organ into a rights-protecting organ,constructing the xinfang organ at the central level as a human rights protecting organ based on the independent investigations of the xinfang organ,obeying the principles of democracy and publicity,and reforming the political and legal systems so that people will be better able to make suggestions and submit complaints.
