日前有消息说,中央提出应倡导和鼓励行政机关领导出庭应诉,提高行政执法水平。这个要求有非常现实的针对性。近年来,我国社会矛盾多发,群众依法维权意识觉醒,民告官案件有较大幅度的增加。据最高人民法院透露的信息,从2000年到2006年,7年中全国各级人民法院共受理了一审行政诉讼案件近64万件,比前十年年均受案数上升16．78%。 A few days ago there was news that the Central Government proposed that leaders of administrative organs should be advocated and encouraged to appear in court and raise the level of administrative law enforcement. This requirement is very realistic. In recent years, many social conflicts have taken place in our country. People’s consciousness of safeguarding their rights according to law has been awakened and the number of people suing officials has risen sharply. According to the information disclosed by the Supreme People’s Court, from 1989 to 2006, the people’s courts at all levels throughout the country handled nearly 640,000 first instance administrative litigation cases over the past seven years, an increase of 16.78% over the previous 10 years.
