论我国刑诉“近亲属拒绝作证权”制度

On the System of "Refusing to Testify by Close Relatives" in China

在2012年修改后的《刑事诉讼法》中,近亲属拒绝作证权的确立着实是我国刑事诉讼法律史上法律与人权结合的一大进步,其不仅是对古代"亲亲相隐"文化的传承更是对以人为本、宽严相济的刑事政策的贯彻以及对维护家庭和谐、社会稳定政策的支持。但由于历史、文化、立法基础相对薄弱,近亲属拒绝作证权在实际司法操作中存在适用主体、阶段过窄等问题,本文针对这些问题提出了一些完善建议。

In 2012,the revised"criminal procedural law",the establishment of close relatives the right to refuse to testify is legal and human rights in the history of our criminal procedure law in combination with a big step forward,it is not only a"mutual concealment of offenses among the kin"of ancient Chinese culture heritage but also to maintain the family harmony,social stability,unwavering support people-oriented,the implementation of the criminal policy of tempering justice with mercy.But due to historical and cultural basis and legislative technical shortcomings,right to refuse to testify relatives in actual judicial operations there are also many remain to be improved.
