诚实信用原则的制度构建与实践应用

Construction and Practice of Principle of Integrity on Construction of Social Honesty

诚信是社会正常运行所必不可少的社会规则。诚信既是道德规范,又是法律规范。作为道德要求的诚信必须首先在法的制定过程中被固定为法律原则,使其具有全局性的指导意义。立法时要设置违反诚实信用原则的法律后果,并且该法律后果必须达到足够的惩戒效应。诚信缺失已具有普遍化趋势,社会各领域都不同程度存在诚信危机。因此,诚信的法制化必须覆盖整个法律体系。对社会诚信建设可分为公民诚信、政府诚信、商业诚信和司法诚信四个方面,分别根据这四方面的不同特点采取适当的法制措施加以治理。

Integrity as the essential social rule in the operation of normal society, is both an ethical and a legal norm. As a moral requirement, integrity must be set as a legal principle in the process of legislation just to make it an overall guiding significance. It is necessary to set legal consequences when someone violates the integrity principle, and the legal consequences must achieve disciplinary effect. Integrity default has been common in almost every aspect of society. Therefore, the integrity principle should cover the whole legal system. The construction of society integrity comprises four areas, the civil, the administrative, the commercial and the judicial. Appropriate legal measures should be taken according to the features of the four respective areas.
