Governing the country must first govern the party, and the party must be strict, and strictness depends on strict discipline. As the leading core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause, our party can always be in the forefront of the times and shoulder the historical mission only by demanding and restraining itself with stricter party rules and disciplines. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee decided to emphasize that "Party rules and discipline are stricter than national laws, and party organizations and cadres at all levels in party member should not only abide by national laws in an exemplary manner, but also set higher standards for party rules and discipline". This vivid conclusion reflects the inherent requirement of the Party to strictly manage the Party and puts forward new and higher requirements for Party organizations at all levels and party member cadres under the new situation. First, why are the inner-party laws and regulations a powerful guarantee for building a China ruled by law? In the revolutionary war years, we maintained the party's centralization and unity by strict party rules and discipline, and maintained the party's cohesion and combat effectiveness. After the Party gained the ruling status, national laws and internal party regulations became important tools for the Party to govern the country and the government. After long-term practice and exploration, our party has initially formed a framework of inner-party laws and regulations, which has laid an important institutional foundation for the party's leadership and ruling activities, inner-party political life, party building and other aspects of work. Historical experience shows that inner-party laws and regulations are an important follow-up for managing the party. Only by building the Party well in accordance with the internal laws and regulations of the Party and forging the mainstay leading the construction of the rule of law can we provide a strong guarantee for comprehensively promoting the rule of law and building a China ruled by law. Inner-party laws and regulations are an important basis that must be followed in the process of governing the country according to law. The leadership of the Party is the biggest and most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Promoting the rule of law in an all-round way requires not only the party to govern the country according to the Constitution and laws, but also the party to govern the party according to the internal laws and regulations of the party. Because of this, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee made clear the overall goal of comprehensively promoting the rule of law, and the task of building the "five systems" included the task of improving the legal system within the party. This requires us to constantly improve the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics and the inner-party laws and regulations system while promoting the construction of the rule of law system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Inner-party laws and regulations are an important guide to realize the modernization of state governance. The party dies and the country dies; The party has no discipline and the country has no discipline. As the ruling party, China * * * Production Party plays a leading core role in overall situation and coordinating all parties in national governance. Only by doing a good job in the construction of laws and regulations within the party, and all party organizations at all levels and all party member cadres consciously act in accordance with party constitution's party rules and national laws and regulations, can the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity be realized. Therefore, we must put forward stricter inner-party system constraints on the basis of the Constitution and laws, improve the party's ruling ability and level, and promote the gradual modernization of state governance. Inner-party laws and regulations are an important guarantee to promote the implementation of national laws and regulations. The Party formulates inner-party laws and regulations, adjusts inner-party relations, regulates inner-party life, and provides code of conduct for party organizations and party member. The Party also leads the people in formulating constitutions and laws, adjusting social relations and regulating social order, and providing citizens, legal persons and other organizations with the basis for their activities. Party internal laws and regulations and national laws and regulations are the reflection of the will of the party and the people, and they are essentially the same. Historical experience tells us that if the laws and regulations within the party are well implemented, the national laws and regulations will be better observed; If the inner-party laws and regulations are not well implemented, the authority of national laws and regulations cannot be established and the rule of law cannot be realized. Therefore, to comprehensively promote the rule of law, we must strive to form a pattern in which national laws and regulations and inner-party regulations complement each other, promote each other and guarantee each other. Part of the inner-party laws and regulations promulgated by Sun Policy Party since the 18th National Congress ◆ 20 12 12 Eight Provisions of 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on Improving Work Style and Keeping Close Contact with the Masses. ◆ 20 13 1 1, Regulations of Party and Government Organs on Strictly Saving and Opposing Waste. ◆ 20 14 1, Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Leading Cadres of the Party and Government. ◆ Measures for the Administration of the Employment of State Staff Outside the Country (Territory) where Their Spouses have emigrated from 2065438 to February 2004. Link China * * * Producers' Party Constitution China * * * Producers' Party Constitution is the party's life standard and behavior standard based on Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system and party building practice. The current party constitution was partially revised at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and was adopted on 201211kloc-0/4. In addition to the general procedures, there are 53 articles in chapter * * * 1 1. It stipulated the party's program, organization, organizational system, party member conditions, party member's obligations and rights, and the party's discipline. Party constitution is the most fundamental inner-party regulation, which must be strictly enforced by the whole party. Party organizations at all levels and the broad masses of party member cadres should consciously learn from party constitution, abide by party constitution, implement the party constitution, safeguard party constitution, consciously strengthen the cultivation of party spirit, enhance the party's awareness of purpose, governance, overall situation and responsibility, and earnestly share worries for the party, do their duty for the country and contribute to the people. Second, why is the party discipline stricter than the national law? "The rule of the country is first subject to the law." "Politicians, it is also. Zi Shuai is right, he dares to be wrong. " "If you want to purge the folk customs, you must be an official first." These famous sayings and epigrams of China's ancient governance all illustrate a truth: Only by putting forward stricter requirements for the rulers first can the country be well governed. Our party is the ruling party and a political organization with a sacred mission. Only by strictly observing party rules and discipline can we ensure the inexhaustible strength of the party's cause. As the saying goes, "Only the right person can be right." Based on this, the "Decision" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee clearly pointed out: "Party discipline is stricter than national law." The purpose is to make the eyes of the party discipline cage smaller and the standards stricter, and effectively put power into the cage of the system. This is determined by the nature of the vanguard of the party. Our party is a Marxist political party organized to achieve lofty political goals in accordance with its own political program and line. It is the vanguard of the working class in China, the vanguard of the people of China and the Chinese nation, and a political organization composed of advanced elements. "A tree has no virtue, and there is no way to kill insects." Only when party constitution's party rules are stricter than national laws, and party organizations and cadres at all levels in party member are required and bound by stricter standards, can the party's advanced nature be maintained forever. This is determined by the party's ruling mission. Our Party shoulders the historical mission of leading more than 65.438+0.3 billion people to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics and realize the Chinese nation's great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream, which is of great responsibility. "If you don't follow the rules, you can't go around the circle." The existence of Party rules and disciplines is to make every party member remember his responsibility and special mission. In the process of leading the people to comprehensively promote the rule of law, party constitution's party rules are stricter than the national laws, and higher, more and even stricter requirements are put forward for leading cadres in party member, which is self-evident for consolidating the party's ruling position and completing the party's ruling mission. This is determined by the advanced nature of party member. Party member is a citizen with special political responsibilities. National laws are the bottom line that all citizens must abide by. Party constitution's party rules require party member more strictly than national laws do for ordinary citizens. It is the basic requirement for every party member to join the Party to recognize and accept the rules and regulations of the Party. When you make a solemn oath to party flag with clenched fists, it means that you have voluntarily given up some rights and freedoms enjoyed by ordinary citizens, and you have to fulfill one more obligation, that is, be loyal politically, obey organizationally and be disciplined in action. Party member cadres, especially senior cadres, should give up more and shoulder greater responsibilities. There are some things that ordinary citizens can do, but party member can't. Therefore, it is party member's voluntary choice and solemn commitment to the Party to consciously and strictly abide by Party rules and regulations. Micro-comment ◆ National laws are "national standard" and the bottom line that citizens must abide by; Party rules are the standard of party member and must be stricter than the "national standard", otherwise it will be difficult for the Party to maintain its advanced nature. ◆ If there are orders and prohibitions, party rules and discipline will become "scarecrows". As a party member, discipline and law are inseparable, and obeying the law should start with discipline. ◆ The Party has rules and regulations and party member has discipline, which are the characteristics of China and the advantages of China. ◆ Adhere to the "Iron Eight Articles", resolutely oppose the "four winds", question and question, and let the masses applaud. ◆ party member should not be confused with ordinary people, increasing obligations and reducing rights. Third, how to further improve the completeness of internal party regulations and party discipline is an important symbol of our party's maturity and ruling ability. No matter what stage it develops in the future, it is inseparable from complete party rules and discipline. Generally speaking, after long-term practice and exploration, the framework of the system of laws and regulations within the party has been initially formed, which provides an important follow-up for us to manage the party. At the same time, we should also see that there are still some problems to be solved urgently in the construction of inner-party laws and regulations. For example, some laws and regulations do not meet the needs of the new situation and new tasks and keep pace with the times; The corresponding laws and regulations have not been formulated in individual work areas; The supporting provisions or implementation rules of some laws and regulations are still not perfect; Some laws and regulations are not connected enough, and there are problems such as dispersion, contradiction and conflict; Some laws and regulations have not been put in place and have not played their due role. There are still problems such as formalism and ineffective implementation in the implementation of laws and regulations. Measures should be taken to solve these problems. In recent years, we have attached great importance to the construction of laws and regulations within the party. 20 12 in may, the central government promulgated the regulations on the formulation of inner-party laws and regulations in China, which is known as the "legislation law" within the party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of laws and regulations within the Party has been accelerating, especially in October 20165438 10, when the Outline of the Five-year Plan for the Formulation of Laws and Regulations within the Party of the Central Committee (20 13-20 17) was issued, which made it clear that this was the case. In accordance with the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, in accordance with the requirements of regulations and planning outlines, based on the current situation, with a long-term perspective and overall consideration, we should ensure that by the 0/00th anniversary of the founding of the Party, an inner-party legal system with scientific contents, strict procedures, complete supporting facilities and effective operation will be established. Pay close attention to improving the system of laws and regulations within the party. For a long time, great progress has been made in the construction of laws and regulations within the party. Central Party regulations 1 piece, 2 guidelines, 22 regulations, and nearly 100 rules, regulations, methods and detailed rules. According to the needs of the development of the situation, we should conscientiously do a good job in changing and abolishing inner-party laws and regulations, study and formulate a number of basic and backbone inner-party laws and regulations, integrate and form a number of comprehensive inner-party laws and regulations, pay close attention to formulating a number of inner-party laws and regulations urgently needed by practice, abolish or revise a number of inner-party laws and regulations that do not meet the needs of reality in time, and effectively solve the problems of lack, "fragmentation" and "aging" of the inner-party legal system. Solidify the practical results into a system in time. For a long time, we have explored many successful practices and accumulated many valuable experiences in strengthening and improving Party building. It should be carefully summarized and upgraded to laws and regulations. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has persisted in strictly administering the party, promulgated eight regulations, paid close attention to the construction of work style, deployed and carried out the party's mass line education and practice activities, deepened the anti-corruption struggle, and adopted a series of effective measures to manage the party and achieve remarkable results. These effective practices and measures should be carefully sorted out and fixed in the form of internal party regulations to form a long-term mechanism. Focus on improving the enforcement of laws and regulations within the party. The vitality of the system lies in its implementation. No matter how good the system is, it will certainly form a "broken window effect." The same is true of party rules and discipline. If the ruling party can't even keep its own party rules and regulations in party constitution and can't implement them, then it is empty talk to govern according to law. Earnestly shoulder the responsibility of the party to manage the party and strictly manage the party, demand party member with strict standards, and take strict measures to manage cadres, so as to ensure that party rules and disciplines become rigid constraints and never become "scarecrows". On the basis of comprehensively cleaning up the existing inner-party laws and regulations, we will promptly formulate and revise a number of important inner-party laws and regulations, and strive to basically form a framework of inner-party laws and regulations that covers the main areas of party building and party work and meets the needs of managing the party and the party, so as to make inner-party life more standardized and procedural, improve the inner-party democratic system, and more effectively restrict and supervise the operation of power. Make the institutional foundation of the party's governance more solid, and lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive establishment of the inner-party laws and regulations system with scientific content, strict procedures, complete facilities and effective operation by the 0/00th anniversary of the founding of the Party. —— Excerpted from the Outline of the Five-year Plan for the Formulation of Rules and Regulations within the Central Party (20 13-20 17). party member cadres should set higher standards for themselves. Li Xueqin: Party organizations at all levels and the vast number of party member cadres are the main forces in governing the country, playing a key role in legislation, law enforcement, justice and law-abiding. Only when party member cadres are effectively bound by party constitution's party regulations and national laws, take the lead in enforcing the law according to law, be more strict with themselves, and set an example by obeying the law, can they resolutely fight against violations of laws and regulations. Only in this way can they really play an exemplary role and have a positive and powerful impact on the realization of law-abiding for the whole people. Q&A: What is the "broken window effect"? A: The "broken window effect" is a theory of criminology. According to this theory, if someone breaks the window glass of a building and this window is not maintained in time, others may get some exemplary connivance to break more windows. Over time, these broken windows give people a sense of disorder, and the result is that in this insensitive environment, violations of law and discipline will breed and flood. Using the "broken window effect" to explain that if the bad phenomenon is left unchecked, it will induce people to follow the trend, and even get worse. Four. Why should the laws and regulations within the Party be linked and coordinated with the national laws? In the past two years, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and various central departments have comprehensively screened more than 23,000 central documents issued during the period from the founding of New China to June 20 12. * * * Sorted out 1 178 Party internal regulations and normative documents, and after cleaning up, 322 were abolished, 369 were declared invalid, and 487 were still valid. An important part of the clean-up work is to clean up those documents that are inconsistent with the Constitution and laws and overlap with relevant state laws and regulations, so as to ensure the convergence and coordination between the internal party regulations and state laws. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward the idea of "attaching importance to the connection and coordination between internal party regulations and national laws". National laws are universally binding on the behavior of all members of society. Party discipline focuses on standardizing the party's political discipline and organizational discipline, and ensuring that party member adheres to ideals and beliefs, maintains a fine style of work, and adheres to moral integrity. Why should we emphasize the connection and coordination between internal party regulations and national laws? To improve the level of managing the Party, it is necessary to link and coordinate the internal laws and regulations of the Party with the national laws. Our party is a big party with more than 86 million party member, and the population of party member exceeds the population of many big European countries. In the current complicated and changeable domestic and international environment, the task of managing the party is extremely arduous. To build the Party well and improve its ruling ability, on the one hand, it is necessary to restrain Party organizations and party member cadres with Party rules and discipline, on the other hand, it is necessary to ensure that Party organizations and party member cadres are active within the scope of the Constitution and laws. Therefore, we should pay attention to the cohesion and coordination between the Party's internal laws and regulations and national laws, and ensure that the activities of Party organizations and party member's actions meet the requirements of the Party's internal laws and regulations, and at the same time follow the legal norms. Promoting the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity requires the convergence and coordination of internal party regulations and national laws. At present, compared with the new situation, new tasks and new requirements, there are still many places in China's national governance system and governance capacity that need to be improved urgently. From the perspective of national governance system, national laws and regulations and inner-party regulations are two important supports; From the perspective of national governance capacity, the core is to improve the party's ability to govern the party according to regulations and rule by law. To promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, we must improve the national legal system and the inner-party laws and regulations system at the same time, and realize the effective connection and organic unity of the two. To improve the rule of law system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, it is necessary to link and coordinate the internal laws and regulations of the Party with the national laws. This is because our rule of law system is an organic whole consisting of five parts: legal norm system, rule of law implementation system, rule of law supervision system, rule of law guarantee system and inner-party regulations system. The system of laws and regulations within the party must be coordinated with the other four parts, especially with the national laws. However, there are still some inadequacies in convergence and coordination, for example, some party disciplines and laws are duplicated, and some party disciplines and laws need to be transformed into laws and regulations, and so on. From the height of perfecting the rule of law system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we should pay attention to the connection and coordination between the internal party regulations and national laws, and work together to promote the process of governing the country according to law. How to realize the organic connection between internal party regulations and national laws? We must adhere to the fundamental principles of party constitution and the Constitution, implement the principle of "the Party must act within the scope of the Constitution and laws" stipulated by party constitution and the principle of upholding the leadership of the Party stipulated by the Constitution into the practice of building laws and regulations within the Party, and ensure the internal unity of the laws and regulations system within the Party and the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics. It is necessary to earnestly do a good job in changing and abolishing the laws and regulations within the party, and try to embody them through laws and regulations. Although there are provisions in the party rules, they can be regulated by laws and regulations; For matters that are neither stipulated by law nor should be stipulated, it is necessary to gradually achieve comprehensive coverage by internal party regulations; Party internal laws and regulations that do not meet the requirements of practice should be revised or abolished in time; For matters that the legislative law clearly stipulates should be stipulated by national laws, the internal laws and regulations of the party shall not stipulate; For those inner-party regulations that should be translated into law after practice, they should be translated into national laws through legal procedures in time, and gradually form a linkage mechanism between inner-party regulations and national laws. Links to clean up the three ways to deal with the party's internal regulations and normative documents-all the main contents of the documents are in conflict with party constitution and the party's theoretical line, principles and policies, or with the Constitution and laws, the documents have obviously failed to meet the actual needs, and the documents have been covered or replaced by the new regulations, which will be abolished. For example, in the 1950s and 1960s, some central documents stipulated the procedures for handling criminal cases, which contradicted the provisions of the current Criminal Procedure Law. This kind of document is one of the documents abolished this time. -Where the adjustment object has disappeared, the document is actually no longer executed, the application period of the document has expired, the relevant matters or tasks have been completed, and the document does not need to be continuously executed, it will be declared invalid. For example, in the 1950s, the central government issued a series of regulations on the inner-party supervisory committee, but these documents actually became invalid because the inner-party supervisory committee was no longer established. -Where there is no problem with the contents of the document, or there are some problems that do not affect the continued implementation, or there are no other documents to replace it at present, and the time for abolition is not ripe, it will continue to be valid. There are some problems in the contents of the file, which need to be revised, but it is still valid until it is revised. For example, 1959 notice of the central government on the unified management of party and government archives. Although there are some historical traces, its main content and spirit are still applicable. Linking to clean up the party's internal regulations and normative documents requires "going through five customs". The first level is to determine the scope of cleaning. The General Office of the Central Committee, together with the National Archives Bureau, comprehensively sorted out more than 23,000 central documents issued during the period from the founding of New China to June 438+02, 1965, and included 1 178 inner-party regulations and normative documents regulating the work activities of party organizations and party member's behavior in the clean-up scope. The second level: departmental audit. Considering the current ownership of document adjustment, the General Office of the Central Committee distributed the cleaning documents to more than 50 relevant central ministries and units, reviewed the relevant documents and put forward preliminary cleaning opinions. The third level: centralized audit. The General Office of the Central Committee, together with the organs of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Organization Department of the Central Committee, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee and the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee, set up a centralized audit working group to study and demonstrate the preliminary clean-up opinions put forward by relevant ministries and units, and audit the clean-up documents one by one to form a list of three documents to be abolished, declared invalid and continued to be valid. The fourth level: solicit opinions. The General Office of the Central Committee will distribute the above three document catalogues to relevant ministries and units for comments, and form a consistent document cleaning and handling opinion. The fifth level: approval and release. The General Office of the Central Committee drafted a draft clean-up decision, which was submitted to the Central Committee for approval according to procedures and distributed in the form of a central document. Read the Outline of the Five-year Plan for the Central Committee to Formulate Inner-Party Regulations (20 13—20 17), People's Publishing House, 20 13.
