Opening Ceremony
▲Cheng Lei, deputy dean and professor of the School of Law, Renmin University of China
The opening ceremony was hosted by Cheng Lei, deputy dean and professor of the Law School of Renmin University of China. Professor Cheng Lei extended a warm welcome and sincere greetings to the guests attending the meeting, and pointed out that the fourth revision of the Criminal Procedure Law is imminent. The establishment of the "Fourth Revision Series Forum of the Criminal Procedure Law" aims to gather consensus among all parties and promote dialogue and discussion. The seizure, seizure, freezing and disposal of the property involved in the case are the focus, hot spots and difficult issues of this revision of the law. It is necessary to strengthen in-depth research on issues related to the property involved in the case.
▲Chen Weidong, Director of the Litigation System and Judicial Reform Research Center and Wu Yuzhang Senior Chair Professor of Renmin University of China
Chen Weidong, director of the Litigation System and Judicial Reform Research Center and Wu Yuzhang Senior Chair Professor at Renmin University of China, pointed out in his speech that the current fourth revision of the Criminal Procedure Law has entered a critical stage. The disposal of property involved in the case is not only related to the security of national public property, but also related to the effective protection of the property rights of the parties and interested parties. For a long time, under the influence of the concept of "emphasis on personal rights and light on property rights", my country's criminal proceedings have shown the characteristics of "litigation against persons". A complete litigation procedure in rem has not yet been established for ordinary cases. The disposal of the property involved has become an important issue in the field of criminal justice that needs to be solved urgently. He proposed that the fourth revision of the Criminal Procedure Law should be taken as an opportunity, under the guidance of the principles of proportionality and necessity, to improve the measures for seizure, seizure and freezing, standardize the jurisdiction system, improve the pre-examination and post-relief mechanism, promote the substantive court hearing of the property involved, and explore a binary disposal model in which physical deposits and cash deposits are coordinated. In the future, we should build a system for the disposal of property involved in the case in which multiple entities such as the public security bureau and the law have division of responsibilities, mutual cooperation, and clear rights and responsibilities, and establish a unified, standardized, smooth, and efficient information management platform to continuously improve the standardization and legalization of the disposal of property involved in the case, and promote a new era of criminal litigation system pattern that achieves equal protection of personal rights and property rights.

This forum conducted in-depth discussions on key and difficult issues in the disposal of property involved in the case, which is of great significance in promoting the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law. It is hoped that the participating experts will have in-depth exchanges on issues such as the definition of property involved in the case, activation and termination procedures, advance disposal and relief mechanisms, form constructive legislative suggestions, and contribute wisdom and strength to improving the disposal system of property involved in the case and promoting the construction of a rule of law in China.
