w88 casino News（Contributed by the w88 casino of Law)On the morning of December 7, 2024, the 2024 Academic Annual Conference of the Beijing International Law Society and the "Changes and Development of International Law in the Era of Great Changes" seminar were grandly held at the International Exchange Building of the w88 casino. This conference was hosted by the Beijing International Law Society and hosted by the Law w88 casino of the w88 casino and Investec Law Firm. More than 180 theoretical scholars and practical experts from the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, various universities, scientific research institutes, and relevant practical departments gathered at the University of International w88 to conduct in-depth academic discussions and exchanges around the conference theme "Changes and Development of International Law in the Era of Great Changes."
The opening ceremony of the conference was hosted by Yang Kuan, secretary-general of the Beijing International Law Society, permanent associate professor and doctoral supervisor at Beijing Institute of Technology Law w88 casino. At the opening ceremony, Professor Bian Yongmin, Vice Dean of the Law w88 casino of the w88 casino, Wang Guifang, member of the Party Leadership Group and Full-time Vice President of the Beijing Law Society, and Li Shouping, President of the Beijing International Law Society, delivered speeches.
Vice Dean Bian Yongmin, on behalf of the w88 casino Law w88 casino, extended a welcome to the leaders, experts, scholars and students attending the w88 casino. Professor Bian pointed out that the era of great changes is often an important era for the development of international law. Historically, important changes in international politics, international relations, and the occurrence of major international events have often triggered the adjustment of international rules or the emergence of new rules. For example, the two world wars and the end of the Cold War have had an important impact on the development of international law. As international legal scholars, we should seize this historical opportunity and contribute to the adjustment of the international order. Legal education at the University of International w88 began with the teaching of international business law courses. With the advancement of reform and opening up, accession to the WTO and the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, a teaching and scientific research system featuring international economic and w88 law has gradually been formed. The w88 casino of Law of the University of International w88 is willing to communicate and cooperate with experts and students, and continue to be committed to cultivating foreign-related legal talents and serving the national economic construction.
Vice President Wang Guifang emphasized the complexity of the current international situation and China’s important position in promoting the construction of the foreign-related legal system. She pointed out that in today's unstable and uncertain global environment, China must accelerate the improvement of its foreign-related legal capabilities to better safeguard the interests of the country and its people and promote the development of international rule of law. Vice President Wang Guifang pointed out that although my country has made progress in the construction of foreign-related legal systems, it still faces three major challenges: the lack of specificity and operability of laws and regulations, and the shortage of high-end legal talents. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly deployed the strengthening of foreign-related rule of law, reflecting the urgent need for high-level opening up and response to external risks. In this regard, she made three suggestions: first, adhere to the leadership of the party, strengthen political guidance, and ensure that foreign-related legal research serves national interests; second, strengthen cooperation among all parties to promote systematic research and overall advancement; third, actively cultivate foreign-related legal talents and enhance China’s voice in the field of international law. Finally, Vice President Wang Guifang called on colleagues in the legal community to work together to promote the progress of the international rule of law through innovative research and contribute to Chinese-style modernization.
President Li Shouping summarized the achievements in the construction of foreign-related rule of law in the past year, and pointed out the multiple challenges currently facing international law. He emphasized that international law scholars should jointly shoulder the responsibility of strengthening international law research and teaching and serve the country's foreign-related legal construction. In this regard, President Li Shouping put forward three suggestions: First, the current era is an era of change, with unstable factors and turbulent changes intertwined. The international power pattern coexists with "rising in the east and falling in the west" and "strong in the west and weak in the east". In this context, we should focus on how to maintain the authority and fairness of international law and prevent international law from being manipulated by the politics of major powers. Secondly, globalization and anti-globalization coexist in global economic development. The globalization process is still continuing, but the rise of w88 protectionism and unilateralism has brought resistance to global economic growth and also challenged the international economic order. In this context, we should focus on studying how to reform and improve international w88 law in the context of the coexistence of globalization and anti-globalization to maintain the authority and effectiveness of the multilateral trading system, and how to solve important issues such as fairness and transparency in international investment arbitration. Finally, the development of science and technology brings both opportunities and challenges. Breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing have become a key force in promoting world development, but they have also brought about a series of challenges such as data security, privacy protection, technological gaps, and military utilization of science and technology. In this context, we should focus on how to build a credible artificial intelligence legal and ethical system and a fair and reasonable algorithm regulation system, how to build a behavioral regulation system for cyberspace and the new generation of cyberspace metaverse, and promote and ensure the development of new qualities and new domains to empower social progress and human civilization and other important issues.
After the opening ceremony, the Beijing International Law Society’s “Investigator Outstanding Research Achievements in International Law Award” award ceremony was successfully held. The society awarded one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes for outstanding papers.
The keynote report phase of the conference was chaired by Liu Huawen, Vice President of the Beijing Society of International Law, Deputy Director and Researcher of the Institute of International Law, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Liu Zhiyuan, director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Gou Haibo, deputy director of the Treaty and Law Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and E Defeng, the second-level inspector of the World w88 Organization Department of the Ministry of Commerce, delivered keynote reports on the theme of the conference.
Liu Zhiyuan, Director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, expounded on the important role and latest progress of China's procuratorial organs in the foreign-related rule of law with the topic of "Foreign-related Prosecution in the General Pattern of Foreign-Related Rule of Law". He pointed out that in recent years, procuratorial organs have taken the initiative to integrate into the collaborative pattern of foreign-related legal affairs and strengthen the top-level design of foreign-related procuratorial work. Director Liu introduced that the Supreme People's Procuratorate held the first national foreign-related procuratorial work conference in November, and issued the "Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening Procuratorial Reform and Further Strengthening Procuratorial Work in the New Era" on December 5, which specifically made provisions for improving the foreign-related procuratorial work system. He also emphasized the importance of international judicial cooperation, pointing out that China's Supreme People's Procuratorate has signed 100 cooperation agreements with foreign procuratorial and judicial agencies, effectively promoting law enforcement and judicial exchanges and collaboration. He called on the international legal community to deepen exchanges and cooperation and jointly promote the development of foreign-related legal rule.
Deputy Director-General of the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Gou Haibo gave a report entitled "Current Hot Issues in International Law and Diplomatic Treaty and Law Work". Director Gou elaborated on the current development of several fields of international law and China’s practice. He emphasized that General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to foreign-related legal work, and the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China specifically deployed relevant work, highlighting the importance of international law in responding to global turmoil. At present, the development of international law presents three prominent features: first, the judicialization of international politics has intensified; second, countries are vying for dominance in formulating rules in the fields of climate, public health and other fields; third, legal wars in the game of great powers are heating up, and countries are actively using legal means to safeguard their own interests. On this basis, Director Gou Haibo further introduced the important progress of international law in several fields, including the Agreement on Marine Biological Diversity Beyond National Jurisdiction, the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime, as well as the latest developments in plastic pollution control and international health law, etc. Finally, he suggested that the academic community should strengthen research on international law and adhere to the party's leadership, problem orientation and strategic thinking to cope with the current complex international situation and contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
E Defeng, the second-level inspector of the World w88 Organization Department of the Ministry of Commerce, made a report titled "Comprehensive and in-depth participation in WTO reform to create favorable international legal conditions and external environment." The report reviews the WTO's achievements since its establishment in 1995. As one of the pillars of global economic governance, the WTO has promoted global w88 in goods from US$5.16 trillion to US$23.81 trillion, and w88 in services has nearly tripled, greatly promoting the liberalization and facilitation of global w88 and investment. As the first member to propose necessary reforms to the WTO, China's comprehensive and in-depth participation in WTO reform is an important measure to promote the construction of the international rule of law and create favorable legal conditions and external environment for the steady and long-term development of China-style modernization. China will be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, build a new higher-level open economic system, and promote in-depth reform and high-quality development with high-level opening up. China will take the initiative to fully participate in and actively lead the reform of the WTO and the adjustment of international economic and w88 rules, and maintain the multilateral trading system with the WTO as the core.
