网络诽谤案举证责任配置问题探析

On the Allocation of the Burden of Proof in Internet Defamation Cases

在自诉人提起的网络诽谤案中,多数案件在一审和二审的裁判中都被以证据不足为由驳回诉讼请求或不认定为构成犯罪,举证困难是问题的关键。因此,有必要通过举证责任倒置,合理分配自诉案件当事人的证明责任,有效保障自诉人应有的救济权益。

In the Internet defamation cases,initiated by private prosecutors,most cases are rejected or not recognized as a crime because of insufficient evidence in the first and second instance.The difficulty of proof is the key to the problem.Therefore,it is necessary to reasonably distribute the burden of proving proof of the parties in private prosecution cases,so as to effectively protect the rights and interests of private prosecutors.
