沉默权不应再沉默——论沉默权在我国的确立

Right to Silence should not Keep Silence ——On the Establishment of the Right to Silence in Our Country

认定沉默权是被告人的一项诉讼权利,是反对强迫自证其罪的重要内容,是现代法治国家刑事司法制度的一项重要内容,是犯罪嫌疑人、被告人能否真正享有辩护权的基础之所在。是否确认该权利及是否建立了保障其实现的程序机制,不仅体现出一个国家在特定时期对实体真实与程序正当、控制犯罪与保障人权等相冲突的诉讼价值的选择态度,而且也反映出一国刑事程序中犯罪嫌疑人、被告人的人权状况和刑事诉讼文明进步的程度。结果表明:我国应建立符合我国国情的、适应我国刑事司法需要的“沉默权”制度。
