Uphold Constitution, Advance Homegrown Rule of Law for Justice & Progress

尊崇宪法，推进本土化法治以促公平与发展

As long as we respect and implement the Constitution the people will be able to be masters of the country, and the cause of the Party and the state will be able to progress smoothly.

只要我们切实尊重和有效实施宪法，人民当家作主就有保证，党和国家事业就能顺利发展。

The Constitution is the fundamental law of the state and the general program for managing state affairs; enjoying supreme legal status, legal authority and legal validity, it is fundamental and consistent, and is of overall and long-term importance. We should strengthen the enforcement of the Constitution and the law, and uphold the unity, dignity and authority of the socialist legal system, so that people neither want, nor are able, nor dare to break the law. We will make sure that laws are abided by and strictly enforced, and lawbreakers are prosecuted. We should integrate the rule of law with the rule of virtue and legal enforcement with ethical progress, encourage both regulation by laws and by self-discipline, and ensure that the rule of law and rule of virtue complement and reinforce each other.

宪法是国家的根本法，是治国安邦的总章程，具有最高的法律地位、法律权威、法律效力，具有根本性、全局性、稳定性、长期性。要加强宪法和法律实施，维护社会主义法治的统一、尊严、权威，形成人们不愿违法、不能违法、不敢违法的法治环境，做到有法必依、执法必严、违法必究。要坚持依法治国和以德治国相结合，把法治建设和道德建设紧密结合起来，把他律和自律紧密结合起来，做到法治和德治相辅相成、相互促进。

Judicial, procuratorial and public security officers should use the scales of fairness and the sword of justice to guarantee a fair and just society with concrete actions, and ensure access to fairness and justice for every individual. We need to bear in mind our own national context and realities and take a path of rule of law best suited to our own specific conditions. Under no circumstance should we imitate the models and practices of other countries or adopt the Western models of “constitutionalism”, “separation of powers”, and “judicial independence”.

政法战线要肩扛公正天平、手持正义之剑，以实际行动维护社会公平正义，让人民群众切实感受到公平正义就在身边。要从中国国情和实际出发，走适合自己的法治道路，决不能照搬别国模式和做法，决不能走西方“宪政”、“三权鼎立”、“司法独立”的路子。
