Building a harmonious society is inseparable from judicial fairness and justice. Prosecutors are the guardians of fairness and justice, and their professional quality and moral accomplishment directly determine whether the judicial goal of fairness and justice can be realized. Formulating the basic norms of prosecutors' professional ethics, standardizing prosecutors' professional behavior and improving prosecutors' professional ethics level are the inevitable requirements of procuratorial organs for strict law enforcement and fair justice.
Procuratorial professional ethics is the general requirement of moral norms, moral sentiments and moral qualities which are closely related to the professional activities of prosecutors and meet the requirements of professional characteristics. This is not only the behavioral requirement of prosecutors' professional activities, but also the moral responsibility and obligation of prosecutors' profession to society.
Procuratorial organs have always attached great importance to the construction of prosecutors' professional ethics. As early as XX, the Supreme People's Procuratorate promulgated the Professional Ethics of Prosecutors. Since June 20 1 1, the central leadership has put forward a series of important instructions for the professional ethics construction of political and legal police officers. Comrade xx pointed out that investigating and dealing with corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty and infringement crimes is a matter of conforming to public opinion and winning the hearts of the people. The people have higher moral requirements for staff who are loyal to their duties.
The Basic Code of Public Prosecutors' Professional Ethics (Trial) was approved by the Supreme People's Procuratorate Procuratorate after extensive consultation and many revisions. It closely combines professional ethics with the standardization of law enforcement and the construction of discipline style, and has strong operability, which is of indispensable positive significance for promoting the construction of procuratorial team, comprehensively improving the quality of prosecutors and shaping the good professional image of prosecutors.
Formulating the basic norms of prosecutors' professional ethics is conducive to further strengthening the political direction of procuratorial work. Adhering to the correct political direction is related to the success or failure of political and legal work. The socialist rule of law is the organic unity of the party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country and the rule of law. Only by maintaining a high degree of political acumen and political discrimination can procuratorial organs give full play to the superiority of people's procuratorial work. The basic policy is clear. Procurators should hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, thoroughly implement Scientific Outlook on Development, and uphold the supremacy of the party's cause, people's interests and the Constitution and law. Undoubtedly, this points out the direction for prosecutors to be builders and defenders of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Formulating the basic norms of prosecutors' professional ethics is conducive to further promoting various procuratorial work. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward new requirements for procuratorial work. Only by comprehensively strengthening and improving procuratorial work can procuratorial organs provide strong judicial guarantee for sound and rapid economic and social development and win the recognition of the party and the people. The basic guidelines require prosecutors to dare to supervise, be good at supervision, take facts as the basis, take the law as the criterion, and establish evidence awareness and procedural awareness. It is not difficult to see that it is a positive response to the new demands and expectations of the people to closely combine the basic principles with the reality of procuratorial work and focus on solving the problems existing in the legal supervision ability of prosecutors.
Formulating the basic norms of prosecutors' professional ethics is conducive to further promoting the construction of procuratorial teams. Building a fair and honest procuratorial team is the guarantee for the healthy and in-depth development of procuratorial work. Prosecutors are exposed to many dark aspects of society, such as crime, and are at greater risk of being influenced and corroded. The Basic Guidelines strictly regulate the links that are prone to problems when prosecutors carry out procuratorial work, such as not accepting gifts, securities, shopping vouchers, performance shares, etc. from the parties to the case, their relatives and friends, interested parties or units in the case and the people entrusted by them in any name, which reflects the consistent attitude of procuratorial organs to strictly control procuratorial work and will undoubtedly spur prosecutors not to abuse power for personal gain and not to make profits from the case.
The Basic Code of Public Prosecutors' Professional Ethics (Trial) has unified and strict professional ethics for prosecutors to perform their duties, exercise procuratorial power and carry out off-the-job activities, which will continuously improve the overall image and procuratorial credibility of procuratorial organs. Procuratorial organs at all levels should transform the basic requirements of procuratorial professional ethics into the rules and mechanisms of law enforcement and judicial work, strengthen the construction of the implementation mechanism of procuratorial professional ethics, establish a professional ethics assessment system, punish those who violate procuratorial professional ethics in strict accordance with regulations, and strive to form a good habit of being proud of observing professional ethics and ashamed of violating professional ethics in the whole system.
