The Supreme People's Court and the Ministry of Justice jointly held a national mediation work conference in Beijing on the 8th. Chen Wenqing expressed condolences to the mediators, grassroots judges, and judicial administrative workers who have worked hard on the front line of resolving conflicts and disputes. He pointed out that mediation work has distinct ethnic characteristics and institutional advantages, and is an important guarantee for promoting long-term social stability in the new journey. With the rapid development of the economy and society, the scale of social conflicts and disputes is relatively large, and they cannot all enter litigation. We must fully play the role of mediation, effectively resolve conflicts and disputes at the grassroots level and in the bud, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people in accordance with the law. Chen Wenqing requested that we should further promote the innovative development of mediation, and strengthen the concept of prevention first, mediation first, mediation according to law, and substantive mediation. We need to further improve the mediation work pattern, do a good job in people's mediation, implement administrative mediation, strengthen judicial mediation, optimize professional mediation in the industry, and promote the coordination and linkage of various types of mediation. We need to further strengthen the leadership of the Party over mediation work, strengthen work guidance, compact the responsibilities of relevant departments, and care for the vast team of mediators. The conference commended the National Model People's Mediation Committee and the National Model People's Mediator. Zhang Jun attended the meeting and delivered a speech. (New News Agency)
