Research On Natural Disaster Relief Legislation In China

Natural disasters,as objective anomalies in the natural world,can cause serious damage to humans and living things in and around the disaster area.When a natural disaster occurs,it is necessary to carry out natural disaster relief activities.In order to ensure the orderliness and effectiveness of natural disaster relief work,as well as to ensure the rationality and legitimacy of natural disaster relief work,it is necessary to improve the laws related to natural disaster relief.From the current legislative status,the State Council formulated and promulgated the Regulations on Natural Disaster Relief in 2010 and amended them in2019,while a more complete legal system for natural disaster relief in China was constructed through the supplementation of several departmental regulations and national normative legal documents,which provided normative guidance for natural disaster relief work.With the gradual increase of legislative activities and many adjustments of departmental functions,the Regulations on Natural Disaster Relief face certain problems in the actual implementation.Specifically,(1)the specific contents of natural disaster relief are scattered in several departmental regulations and normative documents,which are not uniform,and the contents of natural disaster relief in China are not well regulated;(2)there are certain shortcomings in the supervision of disaster relief donations;(3)the current Regulations do not specifically provide for the participation of local social forces in natural disaster relief,and the protection of the legal rights and interests of volunteers is also inadequate.In conclusion,the practical experience accumulated in natural disaster relief in China has not been fully translated into legal regulations,and it is necessary to improve them.Korea,a neighboring country,attaches equal importance to natural disaster relief.In order to protect the victims and maintain a stable life and good social order during the disaster period,Korea enacted the Disaster Relief Act in 1962 and made comprehensive amendments to the disaster relief laws in 2002,2004,and 2007 with the restructuring of the sector.2007 saw the implementation of the new Disaster Relief Act,and several partial amendments were made in 2008,2010,2011,2011,2011,and 2020.In 2013,2014,2016,2020,several partial amendments were made.At the same time,based on the absorption of the disaster relief experience of the United States and Japan,it is more in line with the current situation of social development and relief requirements,forming a natural disaster relief legal system unique to Korea.This is a good reference for the systematization and improvement of the legal issues of natural disaster relief in China.Based on this,this paper starts from the basic concept of natural disaster relief,focuses on the basic content of China’s Natural Disaster Relief Regulations,identifies the shortcomings of the current implementation of the Regulations,and proposes countermeasures to improve the content of natural disaster relief in China by drawing on the legislative experience of Korea,so as to make the content of natural disaster relief in China more perfect and standardized,and promote the effective development of natural disaster relief activities.
