The essence of right of silence is to endow the prosecuted with the right to keep silence or refuse to answer the questions raised by judicial functionary.While the right of silence being introduced,attention should be paid to safeguarding and boosting the harmony and balance of individual freedom and social order,and guarantee of human right and social protection.Between punishing crimes and guarantee of human right a proper point should be found.While doing so,not only the foresight but also the national conditions of China should be considered,and the beneficial factors in the system of right of silence should be borrowed for reference.
