关于我国刑事再审程序的法律思考

Legal Consideration on the Criminal Retrial Procedure in China

作为刑事诉讼的一种错误矫正机制 ,刑事再审程序为世界各国所普遍采用。其对于维系刑事诉讼程序的完整性及保障被告人合法权益的有效性意义重大。我国刑事再审程序存在章名的不准确、申诉规定的笼统化、启动主体的多元化、启动程序的随意性、再审理由的实体化以及未确立“禁止不利被告”原则六个方面的问题。借鉴外国相关立法的规定 ,我国立法应确立惩罚犯罪与保障人权并重 ,实体公正与程序公正兼顾的原则。

As the system of redressing errors arising from criminal proceedings, the criminal retrial procedure is widely used in the world. It plays a very important role in maintaining the integrity of criminal procedure and in effectively protecting the defendants' legal rights. However, some drawbacks exist in the retrial system of China, such as inaccurate designation of some chapters, the generality of the provisions concerning complain, the multi-subject for initiating the system, etc.. By reference of foreign legislations, the author puts forward the assumption that we should observe the principle that combines punishing crime while protecting the civil rights and paying equal attention to procedural justice and substantive justice.
