论刑事二审程序的完善

On Improving Criminal Procedure of Second Instance

刑事二审程序应具备比一审程序更严格的庭审要求。我国目前立法极度忽视二审程序中法庭审理的做法危害较大。现行规定必须修改,使二审开庭进行。二审程序不仅要顾及实体公正,也要兼顾程序公正与诉讼效率。裁判要科学合理,贯彻司法消极、中立、公正的精神,使二审程序能充分保障公民个人的权益,实现立法设置二审程序的目的。

Criminal procedure of second instance ought to be more strict than that of first instance but the legislation ignores the court proceedings in the procedure of second instance. Such provision is quite harmful and it should be revised so that the court proceedings can be more open. The second instance should reflect substantive justice and procedural justice and efficiency as well. The judges should act in the spirit of passiveness, neutrality and justice so that the procedure of second instance can not only guarantee personal rights but also realize the goal of legislation on procedure of second instance.
