论刑法解释的目标——以刑法人权保障功能实现为视角

On the Goal of Interpretation to Criminal Law

刑法解释论上的主观说、客观说和折衷说所确立的刑法解释目标都有不利于刑法人权保障功能实现的缺陷,因而刑法解释的目标应确立为寻求刑法立法时刑法规定的客观意思,即立法本意;只有立法本意不符合保障人权要求时,才允许扩大或缩小立法本意的范围,作出有利于行为人的解释。

All the goals explained by the theories in the interpretations to criminal law, such as the theory of subjectiveness, the theory of objectiveness and the theory of eclecticism have their defects which impair the function of criminal law to safeguard human rights. The goal of interpretation to criminal law should be established as seeking the objective meaning of criminal law from the starting point of its legislation, that is, the original intention of the legislation. Only when the original intention does not conform to the requirements of safeguarding human rights, can the scope of original intention be widened or narrowed and thus an interpretation in favor of the actor can be given.
