慎言沉默权

To Speak Carefully about the Right to Silence

随着我国法制进程的加快,人们越来越重视对犯罪嫌疑人、被告人合法权益的保护,是否应该给予犯罪嫌疑人、被告人以刑事诉讼上的沉默权,目前是争议颇大的话题。赞成者认为赋予犯罪嫌疑人沉默权符合法制的发展道路和总体趋势,有利于我国法律与世界法律接轨。然而,仔细思考我国现阶段法制发展状况的实际后发现,在我国现阶段赋予犯罪嫌疑人沉默权为时尚过早。

Along with the faster development of our legal system, people pay more and more attention to the protection of suspects＇and defendants＇legal fights. It is a topic got many deputes that if suspects and defendants can be given the fight to silence in criminal prosecution. Supporters hold that it suits the development and general trend of legal system and can help our law accord with global law. However, through careful reflections on China＇s current legal system, this paper finds that it is now too early to give suspects the right to silence.
