On the Basic Connotation of Oversight Regulations

As a new type of legal norms, oversight regulations come from the legislative authorization of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and the National Oversight Commission is its legal formulation subject. As a legal norm on all kinds of oversight matters, oversight regulations are the lower-level law of oversight laws, so their effectiveness is lower than oversight laws, but higher than all kinds of oversight regulatory documents. As a legal form based on China's history and national conditions, oversight regulations have both legal and political characteristics, which serve as a bridge linking national laws and inner-Party regulations, and an important institutional guarantee to bring anti-corruption into the track of the rule of law. Clearly defining the basic connotation of oversight regulations and grasping their nature and characteristics can provide a certain theoretical basis for their formulation.
