Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, He Wei, and Secretary of the Party Group and President of the Supreme People's Court, Zhang Jun, attended the meeting and delivered speeches. The People's Court has always attached great importance to the judicial protection work in the Yellow River Basin. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Supreme People's Court has organized three meetings to promote the trial work in the Yellow River Basin, formulated 14 judicial interpretations on environmental resources such as punitive damages for ecological environment infringement, issued 15 normative documents such as opinions on the implementation of the Yellow River Protection Law, issued 15 special guidance cases on basin protection, and carried out special law enforcement actions on Yellow River ecological protection with relevant departments, guiding local courts to accurately apply ecological environment and resource protection laws and regulations, including the Yellow River Protection Law, in accordance with the law. In the past year since the implementation of the Yellow River Protection Law, the courts of the nine provinces and districts along the Yellow River have been based on the judicial characteristics of the basin's coordinated protection of mountains and rivers, actively performing their duties in accordance with the law, and resolving 74000 first instance environmental resource cases, actively serving to ensure the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. Judicial work, as an important component of the legal construction of ecological protection in the Yellow River Basin, plays an indispensable and crucial role. Further strengthen the rule of law in water management and comprehensively promote the era of good law and governance in the protection of the Yellow River. Further implement the strictest protection measures and effectively use the power of the judiciary to build a legal dam for the beautiful and peaceful Yellow River. Zhang Jun pointed out that providing judicial services for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin is a political responsibility to practice the "two safeguards", a legal responsibility to promote good law and good governance, and a judicial responsibility to strictly and impartially administer justice. We must adhere to active performance of our duties, find a balance between high-level protection and high-quality development, and implement the requirements of the Yellow River Protection Law on "comprehensive governance, systematic governance, and source governance" by focusing on the front line and preventing diseases. We must adhere to collaborative governance, fully leverage the judicial cooperation mechanism of the courts in the nine provinces and regions along the Yellow River, strengthen cooperation with public security, procuratorial, administrative law enforcement and other departments, and promote large-scale protection and governance through regular and long-term coordination and linkage. We must adhere to reform and innovation, deepen the concept innovation, system reform, and team building of environmental resource trials, promote the integration of criminal, civil, and administrative trials of environmental resources from "physical" aggregation to "chemical" integration, and achieve a "1+1+1 gt; 3" governance effect.
