论我国普遍辩护的现实困境及其因应策略

On the Realistic Dilemma and Countermeasures of Universal Defense in China

刑事辩护率低迷是困扰我国刑事诉讼的问题之一。在当前司法改革形势下,为突显尊重和保障人权、促进司法公正等目标,刑事辩护亟需改革,由有限辩护向普遍辩护迈进。然而,普遍辩护与诉讼效率和有效辩护短期内可能产生的冲突,以及良好辩护环境和制度保障的缺失是推进普遍辩护进程中的障碍。从刑事案件类型化下的差异辩护、被追诉人自主辩护及制度构建等方面寻求解决之道尤为必要。

The low criminal defense rate is one of the problems that perplex our country ＇s criminal procedure. Under the current situation of judicial reform, for the purpose of highlighting respect and protection of human rights and promoting judicial justice, criminal defense is in urgent need of reform, from limited defense to general defense. However, the conflict between universal defense and efficiency and effective defense, and the lack of good defense environment and system guarantee are obstacles in the process of promoting universal defense. It is particularly necessary to seek solutions from the defense of the types of criminal cases, the independent defense of the accused and the construction of the system.
