The general applicabilityof treaties in China is not mentioned in its Constitution, whichleaves the status of treaties unclear in Chinese courts, andvarying from area to area. In the human rights area, the applicationof treaties at the domestic level requires incorporation. Thestatus of general comments and concluding observations madeby treaty bodies is unclear, too. On the basis of the currenthuman rights legislation in China, the problems and prospectsof four different kinds of litigation (constitutional, civil,criminal and administrative) in Chinese courts are discussedseparately. |
