Summary / Abstract (Note)This paper examines bilingual court proceedings in China, comparing China's approach on this issue to international standards in major treaties and agreements. Many of the principles of these international agreements are already in place and in use in China. China has adopted some practices transcending international standards such as prohibiting discrimination on grounds of language, informing the accused of his or her offence in his or her language, providing an interpreter at court proceedings and allowing a minority language to be used as an official language in minority regions. With the development of China's economy and the promotion of freedom of movement in China, the need for bilingual courts has greatly increased, particularly in minority regions. This paper explores bilingual judicial practice in China under the auspices of these international treaties.
