论我国死刑的存废

Whether Would the Death Penalty Be Reserved in China

消减、限制乃至废除死刑,顺应人权保障的潮流,已成为当今世界各国立法的大趋势。死刑在我国必然也要废除,这是不可逆转的方向。然而死刑在我国的废除,绝非一蹴而就之事,目前我国应坚决有限制地保留死刑,这是由我国的历史传统、民族感情和现实国情决定的。

The restriction and even the abolition of the death penalty, following the trend of the guaranty of human rights, have become the orientation of legislation all over the world. The abolition of death penalty is irreversible in china, but it cannot be accomplished in one move. Now we must stick to a limited reservation of the death penalty, which is associated with the historical traditions, national sentiments and current conditions of our country.
