Courts and Procuracy

The judiciary decides cases through a unified national system, while the Procuracy prosecutes serious crime and reviews the legality of investigation and detention.

The claim

What this institution is meant to do.

The short version comes first. The concern stays visible because the model has to be judged by its limits as well as its aims.

Courts judge cases. Prosecutors bring cases and check whether investigations and detention stay lawful. Neither is supposed to be controlled case by case by political leaders.

A leading Party can still pressure legal outcomes. The first-pass canon expressly bars it from directing verdicts, altering evidence, demanding sentences, or privately influencing judges.

A national judiciary

Local and regional governments cannot control judicial appointments, case assignment, personnel, or substantive decisions. The system includes general, appellate, administrative, labor, commercial, family, and specialized courts.

Judicial promotion is tied to competence, reasoning, conduct, treatment of litigants, workload, overturned decisions, and professional development—not conviction rates or political popularity.

A separate Procuracy

The Procuracy is separate from both the judiciary and executive. It prosecutes serious crime, challenges unlawful detention, investigates corruption and abuse of office, and can bring cases against agencies and officials.

Party discipline and criminal law have different jurisdictions. Party discipline cannot be used to replace criminal prosecution, and a criminal acquittal does not automatically settle noncriminal Party misconduct.
