Chapter 1 General Provisions

1.1Noting that the law is only the bottom line of human behavior; noting that the law is the result and reflection of the game between justice and injustice, and does not always represent justice; noting that some behaviors, although harmful to society or infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of others, do not violate the prohibitive provisions of the law and are even protected by the law. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the law, encourage people to consciously abide by morality, to fairly adjudicate various disputes and impartially conduct credit punishment, to maintain fairness and justice, to promote social integrity, reduce transaction costs, and enhance human welfare, the World Credit Organization (WCO) has formulated this standard in accordance with internationally accepted legal principles, international practices and the World Credit Organization (WCO) Charter.

1.2The main legal basis for the formulation, application and implementation of this standard is as follows:

(1) Constitutional freedom principle. The constitutions of most countries in the world grant people the freedom to safeguard their legitimate rights, the freedom to safeguard social justice and the freedom to express their opinions.

(2) The principle of public order and good morals. This legal principle gives people the right to maintain social justice. The basic principles of civil law in most countries in the world include the principle of public order and good morals.

Of course, the International Moral Court should bear legal responsibilities and corresponding consequences for its unfair evaluation or erroneous requirements.

1.4Based on the reasons stated in 1.3, the International Moral Court initiates the trial procedure at the request of the plaintiff. Whether or not the defendant responds to the lawsuit does not affect the application and implementation of this standard. If the defendant does not respond to the lawsuit, it will increase the plaintiff's evidence collection costs and the International Moral Court's trial costs, but the defendant may also lose the opportunity to prove that he has been wronged, wronged, or to dispel misunderstandings, obtain forgiveness, or resolve conflicts.

1.5For any dispute related to this standard, this standard does not exclude the jurisdiction of national courts and government departments.

In the public statement, the party may state the reasons why it believes it is "unfair or unreasonable". If the party refuses to execute the moral ruling and refuses to issue a public statement of the reasons for non-execution, the relevant party may be deemed to have no reason not to execute it.

9.3For a ruling that has been excluded by one party, the other party or the relevant party may decide whether to recognize and execute all or part of the content of the ruling.

9.4If a party finds that the ruling is wrong during the execution of the ruling, it may stop executing it after explaining the reasons and providing evidence to the Moral Court. The Moral Court may re-examine the erroneous matters and make a corresponding ruling.

9.5The ruling document and the party’s statement and execution-related circumstances shall be recorded in the party’s integrity file. The parties concerned may refer to the relevant circumstances and judge the party’s moral character level by themselves. If the party voluntarily executes a fair and reasonable moral ruling, the parties concerned may have reason to believe that the party has a high moral character and may praise the behavior. On the contrary, if the party refuses to execute an obviously fair and reasonable judgment, the parties concerned may have reason to regard the party’s moral level as low.

However, if it does not execute, it is obliged to issue a public statement of the reasons for non-execution. Because the members of the World Credit Organization (WCO) have promised to cooperate with the International Moral Court in the trial, if the members of the World Credit Organization (WCO) refuse to implement the moral ruling and refuse to issue a public statement of the reasons for non-implementation, it is considered that they have failed to fulfill their obligation to cooperate with the International Moral Court in the trial. The Moral Court may impose credit penalties such as public criticism and public exposure according to the circumstances. If the circumstances are particularly serious, the membership of the World Credit Organization (WCO) will be revoked.
