2025-03-03

On March 1st, the newly revised Cultural Relics Protection Law came into effect, which added provisions for public interest litigation by prosecutors. This not only provides a direct legal basis for prosecutors to perform their duties, but also gives prosecutors greater responsibility in cultural relics protection. On the first day of the implementation of the law, the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued the 57th batch of guiding cases, focusing on the protection of cultural relics and heritage, providing norms and guidance for local procuratorial organs to handle such cases. There are a total of 5 cases released this time, namely the public interest litigation case of the procuratorial organs of Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, urging the protection of the Qin Zhidao Site; The People's Procuratorate of Chengzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province supervises the protection of the administrative public interest litigation case of Hongjue Temple; The People's Procuratorate of Shanxi Province supervises and protects the administrative public interest litigation case of Yungang Grottoes; Dongcheng District People's Procuratorate and Beijing Military Procuratorate supervise and protect the administrative public interest litigation case of Lumi Cang; Zhang and Li intentionally damaged cultural relics. The cases released this time involve Qin Zhidao Site, Hongjue Temple, Yungang Grottoes, Lumicang, Mount Taishan Stone Carvings, etc., which are of great cultural value. From the perspective of damage, there is not only a serious risk of damage, but also serious damage situations such as the destruction of cultural relics and the destruction of historical features. The case has guiding significance in comprehensive performance of duties to protect cultural relics and cultural heritage, using simulated repair methods to determine the value of damaged cultural relics, accurately determining the supervision objects of administrative public interest litigation, exerting the function of consultation and supervision to efficiently protect public welfare, and protecting cultural relics in military camps in accordance with the law. In the cases released this time, there are cases where criminal prosecution functions are utilized to punish cultural relics crimes in accordance with the law, as well as cases where administrative public interest litigation and civil public interest litigation methods are used to supervise administrative agencies in fulfilling their duties in accordance with the law and pursuing civil liability of violators through consultation, prosecutorial suggestions, and litigation. Different methods are coordinated and complementary, and progress layer by layer. The participation and close cooperation of procuratorial organs, judicial organs, administrative organs and other parties have consolidated the joint force of cultural relics and cultural heritage protection.
