认真对待“特赦”的法理言说——从人权、宪法实施、法治三个层面说起

Getting Down to Special Pardon from a View of Jurisprudence——From the Perspective of Human Rights,Implementation of Constitute,and Rule of Law

"特赦"关系着公民基本权利的处分与国家刑罚的执行,绝不能简单地将其作为一个偶然性的政治决定来看待,否则会对国家的人权理念、宪法权威以及法治建设产生相当大的负面影响。尤其是在党的十八届四中全会之后,国家正着力推动宪法实施,推进法治中国建设的大背景下,认真对待"特赦"应是我们不可回避更不容小觑的命题。在立宪时代,"特赦"是一个储藏着人权保障价值的法律概念,而人权保障之根本规范为一国之宪法。那么,在法理逻辑上应将"特赦"措置在宪法之人权规范实施的范畴之内,而实施之路径应由以宪法为纲的法治来铺就。

Special pardon is related to the disposal of civil rights and implementation of penal system. We can not regard it as a temporary political decision. Otherwise it will cause a considerable negative impact on human rights view,constitutional authority,and the legal system construction. After 4th plenary session of 18 th CPC Central Committee,China is strengthening the implementation of the Constitution and building a law-abiding government. So we must treat the special pardon carefully. In Constitutional era,we know that special pardon is a law concept which contains the aim of protecting human rights. So jurisprudentially,the special pardon should be within the frame of implementation of human rights norms according to the Constitution,and the path of implementation should be paved by the rule of law.
