Constructing a court integrity culture construction system has very important practical significance and far-reaching historical significance.

1. Building a culture of clean governance in courts is an inevitable requirement for adhering to the Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious society

The Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that our party’s guiding ideology, The focus and task of the work is to adhere to the scientific outlook on development and build a socialist harmonious society. Adhering to the scientific outlook on development and building a harmonious society, the core is people-oriented, the basic requirement is comprehensive coordination and sustainability, and the fundamental method is overall planning and consideration. Adhering to the Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious society requires vigorous promotion of a culture of clean government. Clean government culture is the product of the combination of clean government construction and cultural construction, and is an important part of socialist cultural construction. For the whole society, building a clean government culture can enable all types of public servants and the general public to be infected and influenced by a noble, civilized, and clean atmosphere at all times and create an incorruptible cultural atmosphere in the whole society that is honest and glorious and corruption is shameful. Everyone respects the law, upholds the law, abides by the law, abides by social ethics, is fair, impartial and honest when participating in litigation activities, and eliminates intercession, favors, bribes and other bad phenomena. The court's clean government culture has both the integrity of the clean government culture and the individuality of judicial work. Its core values ??are serving the people, being fair and honest. Serving the people is the essential characteristic, justice is the fundamental connotation, and integrity is the inherent requirement.

2. Building a culture of clean governance in courts is a fundamental requirement for implementing the guiding principle of “fair justice and serving the people wholeheartedly”

A market economy is an economy governed by the rule of law, and a harmonious society is a society governed by the rule of law. General Secretary Hu Jintao demanded that the people's courts must "administer impartial justice and serve the people wholeheartedly." The Supreme People's Court clearly regards this important instruction from General Secretary Hu Jintao as the work theme and guiding principle of the People's Court. "Fair justice and serving the people wholeheartedly" are the fundamental standards for all judicial activities of the People's Courts in the new era, and are also the guiding ideology for building a system for building a clean government culture in the People's Courts. Integrity and justice are linked. "Publicity breeds justice, and integrity breeds prestige." An upright and honest judge can promote judicial fairness and improve judicial credibility. On the contrary, if judges are dishonest, corrupt and bend the law, it will inevitably lead to judicial injustice and a lack of judicial credibility. On the other hand, integrity is inseparable from serving the people. Integrity is the basic requirement for leading cadres to engage in politics, and it is also the duty requirement for judges to engage in judicial activities. If judges ignore the demands of the people, use their judicial and executive powers to seek personal gain, engage in malpractice for personal gain, and make wrongful decisions, it will be incompatible with the requirements of justice for the people. By building a culture of clean government and creating an atmosphere of respect and respect for integrity, the people's courts enable judges to establish a correct world view, outlook on life and values, enhance their sense of purpose and professional ethics, and judge fairly in judicial activities, so that the public will respect the law from the bottom of their hearts. , Respect judges and strengthen confidence in judicial impartiality.

3. Building a culture of clean governance in courts is a practical requirement for the people’s courts to strengthen their anti-corruption and anti-degeneration capabilities

In recent years, court systems across the country have carried out various theme education activities to improve the implementation of Various types of clean government systems, party style and clean government construction and anti-corruption work have achieved remarkable results. However, the situation in the fight against corruption and integrity in the court system is still very serious. In the transition period from socialist society to socialist market economy, judges face more tests and temptations. Since judges are law enforcers with the power of trial and execution, a small number of parties, lawyers or agents litigating in order to achieve their improper purposes in litigation and execution, some intercede with judges through various human relationships, and some Some try every possible means to build relationships with the judges, and some try to directly or indirectly bribe or corrupt the judges by means of meals and gifts. According to surveys, the current court system is still prone to frequent cases of violations of laws and disciplines. Corruption and bribery, abuse of judicial power and executive power, abuse of law and violation of social management order and social morality often occur. The lessons learned from a recent illegal and disciplinary case in the Intermediate Court were profound. This warns us that the court's own integrity construction is in a serious situation and must be urgently strengthened.
