“逐步减少适用死刑罪名”之探究

Research on “Gradually Reduce Application of Death Penalty Charges”

现在世界刑事法律的一般发展趋势是废除死刑或者限制死刑,在刚刚召开的中共十八届三中全会的公报中提到我国要逐步较少适用死刑罪名。提出的适用死刑罪名包括:世界各国死刑罪名的废除和大量削减;我国死刑罪名设置较多,但是死刑使用率不高。通过对"逐步减少"适用与"废除"适用的不同以及对逐步减少适用"死刑罪名"与"死刑"的不同进行比较,不仅明确了其基本含义,而且明确了这是一个立法问题而非司法问题,进而探究了在我国实现逐步减少适用死刑罪名的现实途径,以期对未来死刑的研究以及司法实践有所促进,以期更好地保障人权。

Now the general trend of criminal law in the world is the abolition of the death penalty or restriction of the death penalty.That our country should gradually reduce applicable death penalty charges was put forward in the recently held Eighteen Plenary Session.There are two backgrounds：the abolition and slash of the death penalty in the world,and second,many China＇s death penalty charges provided but the low death rate.It is＂gradually reduce＂,rather than＂abolish＂.It is＂gradually reduce＂the application＂the death penalty＂instead of ＂death＂.This is a legislative rather than judicial problem.This paper explores the realistic ways of ＂gradually reducing＂death penalty in China.It hopes that the research can promote the development of study of the death penalty and the judicial practice in the future and can have a better protection of human rights.
