论我国刑法立法解释的目标——兼论我国刑法解释的目标

On the Goal of the Legislative Interpretation of Criminal Law in China

西方法学界所指称的刑法解释目标,实质上是指法官的刑法适用解释的目标,而我国刑法解释体制仅包括刑法立法解释和带有普适性的刑法司法解释两类,并不承认法官的刑法适用解释。长期以来,我国理论界在探讨我国刑法解释目标的选择时,大多是针对刑法司法解释而言,忽视了刑法立法解释自身的特殊性。依照各自的性质、特点及法治现状,我国刑法司法解释应采取以主观解释为主、客观解释为辅的折衷说,而刑法立法解释目标应当采取客观说,以最大限度地满足现实对法律的期盼的目标。

In the field of law in western countries, the goal of the interpretation of criminal law refers to the goal of the judge＇s applicable interpretation of criminal law. However, in China, the interpretation system of criminal law only includes the legislative interpretation of criminal law and the judicial interpretation of criminal law excludes the judge＇s applicable interpretation of criminal law. For a long time, when our scholars inquire into the goal of the interpretation of criminal law in China, they mostly refer to the goal of the judicial interpretation of criminal law and neglect the specialty of the legislative interpretation of criminal law. According to the respective nature, characteristics and the status quo of ruling by law, the goal of legislative interpretation shall choose ＂the theory of objectiveness＂ and the goal of judicial interpretation shall choose ＂the theory of compromise＂ so that the law can serve the needs of the society better.
