The Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Central Military Commission" (中国共产党中央军事委员会政法委员会)[1] is a first-level functional agency of the Central Military Commission and a deputy theater-grade military unit. It is the main coordination and control organ for all matters related to military justice and law enforcement. It is based in Beijing.

History

[edit]

In 2007, the Central Military Commission ordered the establishment of Political and Legal Affairs Committees (政法委员会) in every PLA unit above the Corps grade, headed usually by the Secretary of Discipline Inspection Commission of the unit, as part of the accelerating campaign against corruption in the military.[2] The CMC established a PLAC at the central level as well,[3][4] and ordered intensive training on the management of legal affairs to all the involved officers.[5] This generalization of party committee participation in legal enforcement in the PLA was the precursor of the later reforms.[3][2]

Post-2015 reforms

[edit]

After the 2015 military reforms, the committee was reorganized into the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Central Military Commission in January 2016.[6] The commission was organized as a coordinating body, with a secretary and deputy secretary, and members appointed from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Military Court, Chinese People's Liberation Army Military Procuratorate, and the various bureaus of Political and Legal Commission itself. The plan also stipulated that the Political and Legal Committees in all the PLA units should follow the guidance of the commission, while taking responsibility for the management of the political and legal work in their units.[citation needed]

This implied a division of labor according to the operational/administrative lines of command, with the Committees of the Theater Command level being in charge of legal action during wartime and major operations, as well as being in charge of coordinating law enforcement cases and of regional cooperation. The Committees of the military branches are responsible for general crime prevention, maintenance of probity of the forces, and guaranteeing security and stability within its branches' units. All local unit party committees must report, consult and coordinate with the CMC-PLC.[2]
