刑事申诉审查制度改革研究

Research on Reforming the Criminal Appeal Review System

刑事申诉案件的审查是非常重要的特别救济程序,但我国法律一直没有将这一审查活动纳入诉讼程序的轨道,相关规定散见于司法解释和规范性文件中。目前我国的刑事申诉审查存在审查主体多元化、审查内容和程序不完善、配套制度作用发挥不到位等问题,因此,需要对刑事申诉审查制度进行改革探索,取消法院审查主体地位,在检察机关内部设立相对独立的刑事申诉案件审查委员会对申诉案件进行实质性审查;区分形式审查和实质审查,构建刑事申诉审查程序;完善律师代理刑事申诉制度,规范刑事申诉案件异地审查制度,提高刑事申诉审查质效,并逐步将其确立为正式的刑事诉讼制度,推动刑事诉讼立法的发展。

As a rather critical special relief procedure,the examination of criminal appeal cases has not been brought into the judicial proceedings of the Chinese law,with its relevant provisions seen in judicial interpretations and normative documents.At present,there are still some deficiencies in the criminal appeal review of China,such as diversity in review body,imperfection in examining content and procedure,and insufficiency in exerting the role of supporting systems.Therefore,it is essential to reform the criminal appeal examination system,including eliminating the review subject status of the court,and setting up a relatively independent criminal appeal review committee within the prosecuting authority to execute substantive examination over appeal cases;distinguishing between the formal review and substantive review,and establishing the criminal appeal examination proceedings;perfecting the system of criminal appeal represented by the lawyer,and standardizing the non-local review system of criminal appeal cases,in order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of criminal appeal review,build it into a kind of formal criminal litigation system gradually and facilitate the development of criminal procedure legislation.
