完善我国刑事诉讼再审程序的几点思考

Reflections on the perfection of the China's Criminal Suit Retrial Procedure

刑事诉讼再审程序是针对已经生效的裁判结果设置的特殊救济程序,《中共中央关于全面推进依法治国若干重大问题的决定》提出了"完善审级制度"的要求。我国刑事再审程序的功能定位存在一定偏差,再审事由的设定存在诸多问题,再审程序的启动主体和控审分离、控辩平等有违基本法理,再审的审理法院和审理方式也不尽合理。为完善我国刑事再审程序,需要在法的稳定性与法的公正性之间寻求一定的平衡,引入禁止双重危险原则;明确再审的事由;合理界定再审程序的启动主体;根据具体的再审事由灵活确定审判法院。

The criminal suit retrial procedure means the special remedial procedure designed for the verdicts that have taken effect. It is required to ＂ perfect judicial hierarchy＂ in The CCPCC＇s Resolution on Issues Concerning the Overall Advance of the Rule of Law. Yet in reality,there exists some variation and deviation in the definition of the function of China＇s criminal retrial procedures; issues abound concerning the specification of the cause for a retrial; the applying subject of the retrial procedures run counter to the basic legal principles ensuring the division of prosecution and trial as well as the equality of prosecution and defense; besides,there exist unreasonable designation of the court and hearing methods for the retrial. In an effort to perfect China＇s criminal suit retrial procedures,it is required to seek a certain balance between the stability and partiality of law,to introduce the principle of the prevention against double jeopardy,to specify the causes for any retrial,to have the applying subject of the retrial procedures reasonably defined,and to designate the court depending on the specific causes for the retrial.
