刑法基本原则的困惑与解读

Puzzlement and Comment on the Basic Principle of Criminal Law

刑法基本原则属于法律规范范畴,它仅是指导和制约刑事司法工作的原则,而不是指导和制约刑法立法工作的原则。罪刑法定主义等刑法基本主义属于理论范畴,刑法基本主义才是指导刑法立法工作的理论规则。刑法基本原则并非都应不折不扣地绝对执行,而存在着例外规定。“贯穿于全部刑法”不应作为刑法基本原则的确立标准之一。建议在立法上完善刑法基本原则体系,增加刑法基本原则的例外规定。

The basic principles of criminal law belong to rules of law, which not guide and restrict the work of criminal legislation but the work of criminal judicature. The basic doctrines of criminal law such as the principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime belong to theoretical category that guides the work of criminal legislation. There are also exceptions within the basic principle of criminal law, and run - through whole criminal law should not be a criterion of the basic principles. The system of basic principles of criminal law should be completed and exceptions should be provided.
