新刑事诉讼法框架下的证人保护

Witness Protection under the Frame of New Criminal Procedure Law

新刑事诉讼法在强化人权保障理念、规范强制措施、健全审判程序等方面都作了较大修改,是中国特色社会主义刑事司法制度的重大发展和健全完善。然而立法意图在实践中的有效贯彻还有待于实务部门出台司法解释,对相关条文作出进一步的细化规定和配套措施。例如关于证人保护的条款,从维护控辩双方诉讼权利和促进庭审程序公正等方面看,无疑是有积极意义的。但由于证人的权利和义务处于失衡状态,因此落实起来困难重重,可谓"华丽的条文,艰难的落实"。在保留证人出庭义务的前提下,通过加重辩方、控方和社会的义务来平衡出庭证人的权利义务天平,可以使新刑事诉讼法中关于证人保护的条款得到有效落实。

In March,2012,the eleventh sessions of National People＇s Congress fifth session adopted the new revised＂ law of criminal procedure＂.The new law makes bigger modifications in the fields of the guarantee of human rights,compulsory measures and trial procedure,which is a major development and perfection of Chinese characteristic criminal justice system.However,witness protection clauses are very difficult to implement.The rights and obligations are clearly in an unbalanced state,so we can call it ＂gorgeous provisions and infeasible implements＂.By adjusting the relationship process between the rights and obligations of both parties,we can make the witness protection clauses of the new criminal procedure law effectively implemented.
