The third stage is the theme report of the general assembly, which is divided into four topics.

The first topic is "International Rule of Law Towards a Community of Human Destiny." The keynote speaker is President Xiao Yongping. He pointed out that the international legal community helped countries and other international actors to cooperate by linking those interested in or willing to cooperate on certain issues; provided international actors with the norms or standards to be followed; and provided identification mechanisms and penalties in the event of violations. Penalty rules. It is necessary for China to carry out the construction of "four communities" in its future foreign activities, adding the construction of "international legal community" before recording the fate community, interest community and responsibility community, because only the international law community can expand the intersection point of interests of all countries at the same time, form interest community and implement the country. The common responsibility promotes mankind towards a common destiny.

The second topic is "Why Does Renminbi Join SDR Cause China's Legal Reform". The speaker is Professor Han Long, Vice President of the Research Institute and Professor of Central South University of Finance, Economics and Law. Professor Han Long first talked about the SDR because the Bretton Woods system suffered from the persistent Tariffs problem; secondly, he analyzed several characteristics of the SDR in detail. He mentioned that the reason why the RMB joined the SDR was the need to carry out the RMB internationalization strategy. The functions of the RMB in the official sphere can not be fully played, and joining the SDR will help to improve this situation. As an official reserve asset, the SDR can just make up for the shortcomings of the RMB in the re-official sphere, promote other countries to allocate RMB assets in the official sphere, and promote the internationalization of the RMB. But this improvement is not achieved overnight. It is a long-term process. The internationalization of RMB and the accession of RMB to SDR are the purpose and means.

The third topic is "International Position and Action Choice of China's Legal System of Agricultural Subsidies". The lecturer is Li Changjian, Vice-Chairman of the Research Institute and Chief Professor of Law, School of Grammar and Law, Central China Agricultural University. Professor Li Changjian holds that agricultural subsidy is the most important and commonly used tool in a country's agricultural support and protection system, and is an important way for the country to promote the comprehensive and coordinated development of agriculture and sustainable development. Professor Li Changjian pointed out that the specific application of agricultural subsidy in China is unreasonable, and the provisions of WTO-related agricultural subsidy can not be fully used by China. Further, how to protect farmers' survival rights and development rights and interests, and then take appropriate coordination of policy measures to promote the sustainable development of agriculture is an important choice facing China in the new period. In order to understand and grasp the position of China's agricultural subsidy timely and accurately, to clarify the international environment faced by China's agricultural subsidy, and to coordinate the system, and then to improve the strategic adjustment of China's legal system of agricultural subsidy, Professor Li Changjian put forward his own ideas.

The fourth topic is "Introduction to the Work of the Fourth Court of the People's Republic of China on Foreign-related Trials in 2016". The speaker is Ou Haiyan, Judge of the Fourth Court of the People's Court of Hubei Province. First, European judge introduced the basic situation of Hubei high court accepting foreign commercial cases in 2016. In general, the proportion of foreign-related cases in 2016 is low and the degree of internationalization is not high enough, which is mainly decided by the fact that the degree of export-oriented economic development of our inland provinces needs to be improved. Judge Europe has also provided two research materials for you. The first case involves understanding of Ucp600's sixteenth F clause. The bank does not comply with the documents and refuses to pay. But when the bill is returned, the original cannot be returned. How to deal with it? This case is the first case in China. The second case is the effect of ignorance of the terms and conditions. The effect of "unknown terms" in bills of lading has always been controversial in both theoretical and practical fields. European judges also put forward their own views on these two controversial points. Subsequently, the judge introduced the drafting of the Opinion on Implementation by the Hubei Provincial High People's Court and the specific content of the Opinion. Finally, judge EU talked about the work done by the Hubei high court to support arbitration and promote the development of arbitration. He said that in future judicial review cases of arbitral awards, Hubei courts will continue to adhere to the concept of respecting arbitration, supporting arbitration, supervising arbitration and promoting arbitration.

The annual meeting is compact and rich in topics. The conference is a complete success. Professor Xiao Yongping, the new president, said that under the leadership of the Institute of International Law of the Hubei Provincial Law Society, the International Law Research Association had made certain achievements, but there are still many aspects that can be better played and made progress. At the same time, I would like to thank all the colleagues who have worked hard in the seminar to share the memory of the late president Ceng Lingliang. In the future work, we should give full play to the role of the Secretariat, the Institute of International Law of Wuhan University, and actively participate in the construction of international law and state construction. We should strengthen the close integration of the two, unite the researchers from all parts of Hubei Provincial Law Society, and train more international law talents. At the same time, we should study the special problems of Hubei province and grasp the strategic position of Hubei in the development of the country. The Research Association will strengthen cooperation with other research associations under the Hubei Provincial Law Society, expand the scope and depth of research, and actively link up with all parties in future work, so as to make the work of the Research Association better. President Xiao Yongping said he would strive to do better in his future work.
