Title: Supreme Prosecutors Office Publishes First Departmental History in 78 Years Since Relocation to Taiwan; Xing Taizhao: Hope to Learn from History
Central News
(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Chun-lin, Taipei, 30th) The Supreme Prosecutors Office today held a book launch for "Supreme Prosecutors Office Legal Mirror," which marks the first departmental history published by the Supreme Prosecutors Office in 78 years since its relocation to Taiwan. Prosecutor General Xing Taizhao stated that the purpose of publishing the new book is to learn from history and serve as a reference for future personnel and institutional reforms.
The Supreme Prosecutors Office held the book launch for "Supreme Prosecutors Office Legal Mirror – Glorious Heritage, Enduring Legal Tradition" today at the Guiyang Lecture Hall. Many dignitaries attended, including former Prosecutor General Lu Ren-fa, former Ministers of Justice Tseng Yung-fu and Tsai Ching-hsiang, and Control Yuan member Kuo Wen-tung, all participating in the grand event. At the launch, Xing Taizhao also presented "Eagle of Prosecution" to the guests, thanking all sectors for their support of the Supreme Prosecutors Office.
The Supreme Prosecutors Office stated that the new book, through systematic compilation, fully records the organizational evolution and institutional development, leaving a precious and substantial historical testimony and cultural imprint for Taiwan's century-old prosecutorial system.
According to the Supreme Prosecutors Office's press release, if the history of the Supreme Prosecutors Office is counted from the Daliyuan period in 1907 (33rd year of Qing Guangxu), this year marks 119 years. If counted from the promulgation of the "Supreme Court Organization Law" in 1928, it has been 98 years. If counted from its relocation to Taiwan, this year marks its 78th anniversary. Regardless of whether it is 120 years, 98 years, or 78 years, it proves the Republic of China's efforts and achievements in democratic politics.
The press release pointed out that the new book systematically includes organizational operations, actual business conditions, historical context, and future outlook. Minister of Justice Cheng Ming-chien provided a preface, commending: "The publication of this book not only records historical trajectories but also hopes to help all sectors better understand the development and achievements of Taiwan's prosecutorial system through the compilation of historical materials and the inheritance of experience... It is expected that colleagues will learn from history, carry forward the past, continuously refine prosecutorial functions, and jointly safeguard the rule of law and justice."
Lu Ren-fa stated that the publication of the new book demonstrates the spirit, responsibilities, and resilience of the prosecutorial system, which will help further improve prosecutorial work and gain further affirmation and recognition from all sectors of society.
Tseng Yung-fu said, "The new book provides rich and necessary knowledge and experience. I thank Prosecutor General Xing for passing on valuable practical experience to future generations as a reference and guide."
Tsai Ching-hsiang stated that the Supreme Prosecutors Office has published books in recent years that record comparisons of prosecutorial work in various countries, which are of great benefit to prosecutorial work and academic research.
Xing Taizhao said that democratic rule of law is a value widely recognized by the Taiwanese people, and the core of the rule of law is judicial independence. For judicial independence, personnel must be transparent and open, and institutional design must be complete. The purpose of publishing this book is to learn from history and serve as a reference for future personnel and institutional reforms.
The press release highlighted that "Supreme Prosecutors Office Legal Mirror" has six major features: inheritance and change; rescuing disappearing historical facts and archives; presenting records of historical reforms; institutional planning and recommendations; seeking truth, reality, and beauty; and digitalization and electronization. In addition, the new book also invited several artists to assist in jointly shaping Taiwan's local judicial aesthetic culture, adding a humanistic touch to legal historical materials.
