论塑造罪刑法定的刑事司法品格

罪刑法定原则作为刑法的基本原则,是经历了长期而又艰难的考验与争论后,在中国立法史上取得的阶段性胜利。然而,罪刑法定原则的真正最终实现却依赖其在刑事司法领域中的适用。目前,罪刑法定原则在刑事司法适用中还存在着种种缺憾,为了克服罪刑法定司法化的障碍,其理想设计即是规则与解释和裁量的平衡适用。塑造其坚持在罪刑法定原则实际代价中的人权保障与罪刑法定原则框架下的社会保护相统一的刑事司法品格,从而树立起罪刑法定原则在刑事法治领域内的权威,使其名符其实地成为刑事法律中的帝王规则。

The legal principle of crime and punishment is the basic principle of the criminal law. It is the victory of a phase made in Chinese legislative history through long-term and difficult tests and disputes. But the realization of the legal principle of crime and punishment depends on its application in criminal judicial field. At present, all sorts of shortcomings still exist in the principle, tn order to overcome the obstacles of the principle in judicatory, it is ideal to balance the principle, explanation and judgement. We should mould its character that combines the human rights protection of the actual cost of the principle with the social protection under the frame to establish the authority in the criminal field governed by law of the legal principle of crime and punishment, and to make it become emperor rule of criminal law worth the name.
