What will the first Great Wall Protection Court try?

2023-01-29

This is an experience that Chen Yu never imagined. In a case that was heard on October 28, 2022, Chen Yu, as a researcher of the Great Wall, participated in the trial of a case involving the Great Wall by sitting on the balance chair on the left side of the judge in the trial court. The case was heard in the Great Wall Cultural Protection People's Court of the People's Court of Shanhaiguan District, the first Great Wall protection court in the country. The court was set up in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province on June 30, 2022. Shortly after the establishment of the court, Chen Yu, Executive Director of the China Great Wall Culture Research and Communication Center of Yanshan University, was invited to become one of the expert people's jurors of the court. He hoped that she would provide professional opinions for the trial of the case based on her knowledge and theoretical knowledge gained from the Great Wall research and research in recent years. The Great Wall Cultural Protection People's Court of Shanhaiguan District People's Court (hereinafter referred to as the "Great Wall Cultural Protection Court") is a people's court specializing in the protection of Great Wall resources and Great Wall culture. So far, the court has accepted 67 cases and closed 59 cases. The people's court is the agency and component of the basic people's court. At the Fourth National People's Court Working Conference in November 2020 and the National High Court Presidents' Symposium held in July 2021, the Supreme People's Court clearly put forward the requirements of the people's courts at all levels to consolidate and improve the achievements of the people's court construction and promote the construction of professional and characteristic people's courts. Since then, courts at all levels across the country have begun to set up specialized and characteristic people's courts based on regional characteristics, covering many fields such as finance, road traffic, labor, family affairs, youth, property, tourism, environment, intellectual property, etc., and have concentrated the types of cases in people's courts for professional trials. "In terms of the protection of the Great Wall resources and the Great Wall culture, Qinhuangdao has a great judicial need," Zhang Li, secretary of the party group and president of the Qinhuangdao Intermediate People's Court, told China News Weekly. Qinhuangdao has 223.1 kilometers of the Ming Great Wall, which is rich in cultural resources. From June 2020 to June 2022, the procuratorial organs of Qinhuangdao handled 33 administrative public welfare lawsuits involving the Great Wall. Shanhaiguan District has a more urgent need for judicial protection of the Great Wall. From the beginning of 2020 to June 2022, the Shanhaiguan procuratorate handled 15 public welfare cases involving the Great Wall protection, and the Shanhaiguan District Court handled more than 100 civil cases involving the Great Wall in the past five years. Looking across the country, most of the specialized people's courts have prominent regional characteristics, which also reflects the local judicial needs. Zhang Li said that the need for justice is an important condition for the establishment of professional people's courts in the local area. The West Lake District Court of Hangzhou formally established the West Lake Scenic Spot Tourism Court in December 2021 to focus on hearing tourism disputes, environmental resources, intellectual property disputes related to tea industry and other civil and commercial disputes. In Guizhou, where the big data industry is concentrated, the local Huishui County People's Court has set up a big data court to focus on civil and commercial cases involving the big data industry, such as data ownership, data transaction, data privacy, data information protection, data sharing, data information disclosure, etc. Han Xu is a judge of the People's Court of Shanhaiguan District and the presiding judge of the Great Wall Cultural Protection Court
