At the seminar, Jia Yu, the President of the Shanghai Higher People's Court, stated that the Beijing Convention on the Judicial Sale of Ships was initially proposed by the China Maritime Law Association at the International Maritime Organization in 2007 and officially adopted in 2022. After years of research and negotiation, it fully considered the legislation and judiciary of different countries and legal systems, filling the gap in the international effectiveness of the judicial sale of ships. This is the active efforts of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law and the result of China's long-term and deep participation and promotion.

 

The convention responds to this situation and aims to enhance legal certainty by establishing a unified international legal system for the judicial sale of ships. The convention has established unified rules on "the effectiveness of clean property rights in judicial sales", "cancellation or registration of ships after judicial sales", and "no detention of ships after judicial sales". The basic rule is that if a judicial sale is made in a contracting state and has the effect of granting the purchaser a clean property right, it will have the same effect in all other contracting states.

Compared to the ship seizure rules, the international community's process of unifying rules in the judicial sale of ships is much slower. Sun Haihua, Deputy Director of the Shanghai Arbitration Commission, introduced that in view of the international mobility of ships, the clean property rights arising from the judicial sale of ships completed by a court of one country or under its supervision should be recognized in other contracting states. Prior international conventions have failed to effectively address this important issue involving multiple interests.

Experts attending the meeting believe that the convention provides unified rules and safeguards, which will provide legal protection for buyers of ships sold through judicial sales, safeguard the interests of shipowners and creditors, and have a positive impact on the judicial sales prices of ships.

When it comes to prosecutors, most people's impression may be that they are "national prosecutors" handling criminal cases, dressed in uniforms, accusing crimes. In the recently popular TV series "Public Prosecution", Dilraba portrayed the prosecutor Anna in this image. In recent years, procuratorial organs have increasingly attached importance to the functions of civil, administrative, and public interest litigation procuratorial organs, and they have also formed the "four major procuratorial functions" in the new era together with criminal procuratorial organs. In the recent procuratorial competition organized by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, civil, administrative, and public interest litigation competitions were added for the first time. After fierce competition, several civil, administrative, and public interest litigation prosecutors in Shanghai have been awarded the title of business model. The story of prosecutors outside of the prosecutor is equally exciting. Through their stories, perhaps we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the profession of prosecutors and gain a deeper understanding of prosecutors

In recent years, short video live streaming platforms have developed rapidly. According to reports from relevant research institutions, the user base of online live streaming in China has exceeded 700 million people. Under the huge market dividend, many anchors have abundant income, which has also stimulated more young people to enter the anchor industry. Xiaoyu, who is still in college, is one of them. In August 2020, he signed an exclusive entertainment agency contract with a cultural company in Shanghai, despite his handsome appearance. However, four months later, due to frequent conflicts between the company's arranged live broadcast time and school courses, the two sides continued to experience friction. Xiaoyu had the idea of terminating the contract, and the company proposed a penalty of 9 million yuan for breach of contract. Xiaoyu's experience is not an exception. According to a review of public reports by Jiefang Daily's Shangguan News, many companies will stipulate high liquidated damages in their contracts when signing contracts with anchors.
