沉默权制度应予确立

On the Establishment of Right to Silence

沉默权是无罪推定的核心内容,是保障犯罪嫌疑人、被告人的正当权利,实现司法公正的重要体现。根据沉默权的起源、发展的历程,借鉴国际社会采用沉默权制度的经验,分析法学界对沉默权的不同观点和态度,结合我国的国情和司法实践,所得结论是应当在我国确立沉默权制度,以推进我国的法治建设,体现人权保障和人文关怀。同时,对沉默权制度不可照抄照搬,盲目采用,而应充分考虑我国的国情和司法实践,创立有中国特色的沉默权制度,从而构建社会主义和谐社会。

The right to silence is the focus in pre - innocent decision and is the symbolization of judicial justice in the protection of the legal rights of the suspect or the defendant. Based on the origin, development and international practice of the right to silence, conclusions drawn from the consideration of various viewpoints and attitudes against the said right, our national conditions and judicial practice, suggest that we should enact the law of the right to silence to promote legal construction, human rights protection, and humanity consideration in our country. Whereas we cannot just copy the right to silence from the west, full consideration of our national conditions and judicial practice for the establishment of a sound system with Chinese characteristics of the right to silence is important, so as to build up a socialist harmonious society.
