On China's Legal System Of Investigation, Prosecution And Supervision

Investigation, prosecution and supervision is the important content of prosecutorial power. The procuratorate's exercising the power of investigation and supervision will help us to realize the fairness of procedure, improve the protection of civil rights, and exploit the function of power-separation and balance. But, the supervision and control exerted by the existing system of investigation and supervision upon the power of prosecution is so weak. Now, it's difficult for procuratorate to carry out supervising activity, for the existing laws cannot provide for efficient legal protection, so the supervision is not competent. The first step of the reform of the system of investigation, prosecution and supervision should be to strengthen the control over the power of investigation, to establish the pretrial judicial examine system, to improve the systematic protection of investigation, prosecution and supervision, so as to establish a healthy and efficient mechanism of investigation and supervision, ultimately promote the protection of personal rights.
