Martin Klingst schreibt für die Zeit einen äußerst interesting report on the Chinese justice system. He observed in a Beijing district court for a murder trial, speaks to two farmers from Anhui who wish to file against land confiscation in the Supreme People's Court a petition; interviewed judiciary, judges, the Prosecutor Mon shaoping and powerful lawyers, including the Justice Minister and the Vice Chairman of the Supreme People's Court .
Klinger Conclusion:
The Chinese law in eight [ was in 1999 at the People's Congress, the introduction of the Chinese law decided ] securitized liberties, but which are not enforceable. Many good laws, but not judges, they must apply independently. A well-meaning and active justice up there, but all too often high-handed acting, poorly trained and many succumbed to pressure from down there. And above all looms the party whose leadership much good will, but nothing - would be out of hand - and certainly not the third force. Somehow, the results in the sum indeed be some kind of legal system, but still no rule of law.For further reading, I can really recommend 's This !
"It remains," says human rights lawyer Mon shaoping and disappears mocking smile behind the gate of his secluded retreat in the shadow of the imperial palace, "we the rule of law are -. With great Chinese tradition"
