质证权语境下刑事案件证人的保护制度

Criminal Witness Protection System under the Context of the Right to Cross-examination

刑事被告质证权有利于查明案件事实,可增强判决的可接受性和司法公信力。我国刑事诉讼法证人保护的规定过于原则、笼统,司法实践中证人及近亲属人身安全遭受侵害的现象极为严重。对于某些特定类型的案件,可运用远程作证,既节约了成本,又满足了"作证质证"的需要。

The right to cross -examination of criminal defendants is conductive to ascertaining the facts and strengthening the acceptability of judgment and judicial credibility .The provisions on witness protection in our crim-inal procedure law are too principled and qeneral .In judicial practice,the phenomenon that the personal safety of witnesses and their close relatives have suffered damage is extremely serious .Long-distance testifying can be ap-plied to certain types of cases ,which can not only save costs ,but also meet the need of “testification and cross-ex-amination”.
