从条约法角度评“死刑不引渡”

On the Non-extradition of Death Penalty in Treaty Law Perspective

中国为引渡外逃的犯罪嫌疑人,均承诺对被引渡人不适用死刑。许多国家在宪法中规定了条约在国内的适用问题,然而中国宪法却缺乏相应的明确规定,以致我国有关条约在国内的适用没有统一的规则可以遵循。因此,我国法院在审判被引渡人时,面临着遵守国际条约还是服从国内立法的两难选择,我国应当完善有关立法,尽快填补上位法规定的空白,以妥善处理条约在我国的适用问题。

In order to extradite suspects who have fled abroad, China always promises not to apply death penalty to the extradited. A lot of countries have provided rules on the domestic application of treaties by their constitutional law, but there is no definite rule on how to apply treaties in Chinese Constitution, so there is no unified rule to follow on this issue in China. Therefore, when the courts are in judging, they ties or domestic law. So we should improve our legislation to solve this face the dilemma of whether to apply the treaissue of treaties＇ application properly.
