White paper: Judicial Transparency of Chinese Courts

In recent years, as the people's courts keep increasing their input and efforts in judicial transparency, judicial transparency has obtained great progress from its forms to its substance and created a new breakthrough both in judicial transparency and in judicial fairness, especially in terms of promoting judicial transparency by information-based approaches. It is deeply rooted in people's mind that disclosure can bring about justice, anti-corruption and creditability. An open, dynamic, transparent, convenient and fair judicial mechanism was proposed as a concept and target on the 4th Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party, and has become the direction of the judicial transparency work of people's courts in the new era, and put forward higher requirements for people's courts in terms of judicial transparency. Judicial transparency is always on the way and never ends. In the near future, the Supreme People's Court will continue to thoroughly deepen judicial transparency and rely on information technologies to promote such transparency with respect to case registration, court trial, enforcement, hearing, documents and instruments and administrative affairs concerning the court, push forward the full disclosure of judicial basis, process, procedures, results and effective legal documents and instruments, propel the integration, technical innovation, in-depth application and overall advancement of the judicial transparency platforms, accelerate the standardization, institutionalization and informization, and constantly improve the disclosure mechanism, expand disclosure channels, innovate disclosure approaches and construct an open, dynamic, transparent, convenient and fair judicial transparency, so as to make greater contribution to the comprehensive promotion of the rule of law and the construction of a socialist country under the rule of law.
