Guideline sets out measures to oversee judicial personnel

A guideline to establish a system of disciplinary measures for judicial personnel has been issued, a move designed to address violations of law and dereliction of duty among judges and prosecutors.

The document, published on the website of the Supreme People's Court on Tuesday, provides experimental guiding principles to courts and procuratorates at all levels across the country as a means to address errors, incompetence and dereliction of duty among judges and prosecutors.

A means to file grievances for those being investigated for alleged misconduct or wrongdoings was also stipulated in the document.
