To promote the legalization of petition work, it is necessary to pay attention to five links

Persisting in bringing the work of letters and visits into the track of the rule of law and deepening the rule of law in the work of letters and visits is an important part of strengthening and improving the work of letters and visits by the people, and is the proper meaning of advancing the comprehensive rule of law. In recent years, the mainland has taken the implementation of the "Regulations on Letters and Visits" as the starting point, continuously innovated and improved systems and mechanisms, actively promoted the rule of law pilots, and continued to deepen the tackling of the problem of tackling key problems at the source, and achieved positive results in the rule of law in the work of letters and visits.

However, compared with the requirements of the rule of law in petition work and the current complex situation of petitioning, there are still many problems and shortcomings in this field: First, the prevention at the source is not strong enough. In some places, the investigation and resolution of contradictions and disputes are not in place, and a small number of law enforcement personnel are inactive, slow, or chaotic, resulting in the continuous accumulation and upward movement of contradictions between letters and visits. For example, in some localities, the arrest of fraudulent petition cases has not been carried out in a timely manner, resulting in no substantive progress in the case for many years, and the informant has continued to petition and petition until the leader "monitors" and cracks the case. Second, the classification according to law is not accurate enough. The masses do not register their letters and visits, do not reply to them in a timely manner, do not accurately transfer them to the office, do not implement the separation of complaints and visits, and the problem of irregular work is prominent. For example, in some cases, the investigation and handling of cases are not in accordance with laws and regulations, and although some are in compliance with laws and regulations, the masses petition due to the formality of the notification procedure, the untimely feedback on the progress of the investigation and handling, and the blunt attitude of receiving the public. Third, the problem solving is not efficient enough. In practice, in some localities, there are still phenomena of emphasizing the completion of procedures and ignoring substantive resolution, non-standard reviews and re-examinations, and inadequate education and guidance, and some letter-or-visit matters have not been "concluded" or "matters are resolved," resulting in the occurrence of visits at higher levels and repeated visits. Fourth, supervision and accountability are not strict enough. In grassroots practice, there are still situations where it is difficult to exercise the "three right to make recommendations" for letters and visits, and some of them are distorted in the assessment of letters and visits, and the supervision and accountability are weak and ineffective, resulting in the requirements of "territorial management and hierarchical responsibility" in the work of letters and visits have not been fully implemented. For example, in some localities, there is no accountability or correction of defective cases that have lasted for many years, resulting in a backlog of petition cases, and it is not until the higher-level organs take the lead in seriously investigating and holding them accountable and correcting mistakes in accordance with the law that the petitioning problem can be resolved. Fifth, the maintenance of order is not standardized enough. Some local leading cadres do not have an accurate grasp of the relationship between maintaining stability and safeguarding their rights, and there are frequent instances of blocking and blocking normal petitioners; some are unwilling to put a stop to illegal petitioning behaviors, and such chaotic phenomena as pestering petitions and making trouble, exerting pressure on petitioners, and seeking profits through petitions still exist, and some have even become an important inducement for social stability.

It is necessary to adhere to the rule of law thinking and system concept, and further innovate and improve the system, mechanism, means and methods around the five important links of "prevention, acceptance, handling, supervision and accountability, and maintenance of order", and continue to promote the rule of law in petition work in depth.

Promote the rule of law in prevention. "And if you want to prevent it, worry about it. "In handling the problem of letters and visits, it is necessary to firmly establish the concept of "letters and visits can be prevented". The first is to strengthen the standardization of law enforcement, accelerate the construction of a law enforcement supervision and management system for all police types and elements, improve the risk assessment and early warning mechanism for law enforcement petitions, manage each case in a closed-loop manner throughout the cycle, and rely on the law enforcement case handling management system to monitor and warn in real time, prompt and remind, and prevent and reduce petition problems from the source of law enforcement. The second is to strengthen the analysis and rectification of law-related petition issues, establish a mechanism for the aggregation and research and judgment of petition risks, and normalize the source management of problems that the masses have strong reactions to in law enforcement and case handling, convenience services, etc., so as to achieve early warning, handling before litigation, and handling without prosecution. The third is to strengthen the investigation and resolution of contradictions and disputes, improve and improve the multi-level linkage mechanism with relevant departments, roll investigation and resolution of various contradictions and disputes, and earnestly achieve joint investigation of social conditions, joint investigation of contradictions, joint prevention of risks, and linkage of services, so as to strictly prevent small things from dragging on.

Promote the rule of law in acceptance. In practice, it is necessary to strengthen the full registration and acceptance, insist that all letters must be recorded, everything must be registered, and all visits must be answered, formulate norms for the entry of letters and visits, establish a mechanism for verifying and handling the problem of false registration, promote the public security departments for letters and visits at all levels to full, timely, and accurately register letters, visits, and phone calls, seriously deal with the behavior of "extracorporeal circulation" and "off-the-books", and resolutely put an end to the phenomenon of the masses "having no way to ask for help". With regard to "litigation" and "petitioning," the "Regulations on Petition Work" put forward the requirement of separating litigation and petitioning, and it is necessary to further strengthen the screening and diversion according to law, conscientiously analyze and screen the reasons and demands expressed by letter-writers and visitors, and promptly introduce corresponding legal procedures to handle letter-or-visit matters that fall within the scope of the public security organs' powers; and actively assist in diverting those letter-or-visit matters that do not fall within the scope of the public security organs' powers to handle them, and resolutely put an end to the occurrence of the phenomenon of prevarication and prevarication. The letter-writer or visitor shall be informed in writing of the results of the examination and acceptance of all kinds of letter-or-visit matters within a limited time, and in particular, for letter-or-visit matters that are "not accepted" or "no longer accepted" in accordance with the law, it is also necessary to actively do a good job in such work as explanation, guidance, education, and assistance, so as to avoid to the greatest extent the letter-writers and visitors from making multiple petitions and repeated petitions because they are not aware of or satisfied.

Promote the rule of law. The focus is on establishing a "solution-oriented thinking" and emphasizing substantive resolution. The first is to strictly implement the first-to-handle system, insist on handling complaints immediately, upgrade the regulatory mechanism, tighten and consolidate responsibilities, strictly establish accounts, reconcile accounts one by one, and promote relevant departments to solve reasonable demands for the masses, and strive to achieve "initial visit" that is, "final visit", and "first visit" that is, "final visit". Second, it is necessary to comprehensively implement the system of handling letters and visits, further scientifically build a network for handling letters and visits, standardize the procedures for handling letters and visits, improve the mechanism for handling letters and visits, comprehensively carry out the service of handling letters and visits, and earnestly realize that "some people help the masses to handle them, some people handle them instead, and contradictions are not handed over," and strive to resolve problems at the grassroots level. The third is to continue to deepen the tackling and resolution of the backlog of cases, carry out in-depth actions to deal with the source of petition problems, strictly implement the mechanism for leaders to receive and package cases, innovate the backlog disposal mode for difficult and complex petition cases assigned by superiors, concentrate on resolving petition matters that are long-term, complex and difficult, and strive to achieve incremental control, stock reduction, and variable prevention.

Promote the rule of law in oversight and accountability. To effectively supervise the work of letters and visits, the focus is on persisting in persisting in investigating all petitions and holding accountable those responsible. The first is to improve the supervision system, relying on the pattern of "general supervision", to build a mechanism for the evaluation and back-checking of petition issues with the participation of relevant functional departments, to establish and implement the system of petition inspectors, and to include petition work in the scope of supervision, as an important part of performance appraisal and cadre evaluation, and to promote organs and leading cadres at all levels to strictly implement the responsibility for petition work. Second, it is necessary to strictly enforce discipline and accountability, improve the closed-loop handling mechanism for clues on violations of rules and discipline and law, and transfer clues on violations of rules and discipline and law by leading cadres and staff members discovered in the work of letters and visits to the discipline inspection and supervision and organization and personnel departments at all levels for handling in accordance with relevant regulations and cadre management authority, and promptly feedback the results to letter-writers and visitors in accordance with regulations, so as to avoid long-term investigation of all kinds of reports and clues without resolution. The third is to promptly correct mistakes in accordance with the law, persist in correcting mistakes, resolutely correct unjust, wrong, and flawed cases in accordance with the law, and promptly give feedback to the petitioners on the situation of verification and handling, and simultaneously do a good job in explaining the law and reasoning, increasing trust and dispelling doubts, etc., to strive for the understanding of the masses to the greatest extent, and take the initiative to close the relationship between cadres and the masses.

Promote the rule of law in maintaining order. Most of the problems of letters and visits belong to contradictions among the people, and we should persist in enforcing the law with both rigidity and softness. On the one hand, it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between stability maintenance and rights protection, strictly prohibit illegal deprivation or restriction of the personal liberty of petitioners, and strictly prohibit discrimination, making things difficult and retaliating against petitioners, so as to effectively protect the lawful rights and interests of petitioners. On the other hand, it is necessary to deal with illegal and criminal acts in letter-and-visit activities in accordance with the law, and resolutely curb such chaotic phenomena as seeking solutions through trouble, seeking personal gain through petitions, and making vexatious petitions. At the same time, we should carry out activities such as using cases to explain the law on a regular basis, educate and guide the masses to rationally express their demands in accordance with the law, consciously maintain the order of petitions, and create a good atmosphere for the whole society to uphold the rule of law and petition in accordance with the law.
