各地乡镇(街道)人民调解委员会自建立以来,在预防和化解基层重大疑难纠纷中做了大量的土作,发挥了重要的作用,为当地的社会稳定、经济发展作出了应有的贡献。本期集中选编的5篇乡镇(街道)调委会调解民间纠纷的故事,正是这一组织充满活力的工作缩影。 Since their establishment, the people’s mediation committees of townships (subdistricts) have done a great deal of earth work in preventing and resolving major difficult disputes at the grass-roots level and have played an important role in making contributions to the local social stability and economic development. The story of the mediation of civil disputes by the five townships (subdistricts) commissioned by the Central Government in this issue is precisely the epitome of this organization’s dynamic work.
