关于我国野生动物刑事案件定罪量刑标准的几点讨论

Some Discussion on the Conviction and Sentencing Standard in Criminal Cases of Wildlife in China

讨论了我国野生动物刑事案件定罪量刑标准在实践中出现的几点争议,包括:野生动物与制品界定不清,数量认定标准与价值认定标准差异过大,以及CITES附录物种保护级别的适用和价值标准的核定等。这些问题的出现是由于有关的司法解释与主管部门关于野生动物及其产品价值标准核定相互间不衔接造成的。针对上述问题提出相关建议:明确界定野生动物本身和制品的范畴和价值标准,依据野生动物个体价值标准调整数量认定标准,明确不同保护级别认定的标准和制定公约附录物种的价值界定标准规范等。

Several controversies on conviction and sentencing standards in wildlife criminal cases was discussed in this article, including ill-defined concept of wildlife and its products, the large difference between two kind of sentencing standard--the number of individual animals and the values of their products, application of protection level and value standard of the species in CITES appendix. These problems mainly result from the mutual non-convergence between the relevant judicial interpretation and the authorities＇ value standard of wildlife and its products. For these questions, some specific adjustment measures were presented, such as clearly defining the scope and value standard between wildlife itself and its products, adjusting the standard of individuals number according to the value of wildlife, clearly declaring the appliance of different protection levels, and define the value standard of species in CITES appendix etc.
