论刑法修正的协调性

刑法修正的协调性是保障刑法公正性的基础性条件。《刑法修正案(十一)》新增罪(含修正罪)充分注意到了《刑法》与相关法律之间的协调(衔接)。但是,刑法修正还要考虑新增罪(修正罪)与既有罪之间、新增罪(修正罪)之间以及修正的刑法条文与相关刑法解释(含解释性文件)之间的协调。刑法修正需要在罪状的设置、法定刑的设置以及量刑情节的设置方面保持协调。面对协调性的瑕疵,可以通过补正解释的方法确保司法适用的公正,在解释论无法解决的情况下,则只能通过进一步修正刑法加以完善。

On the Coordination of Criminal Law Revision

The coordination that needs to be maintained in the revision of the Criminal Law is the basic condition to guarantee the fairness of the Criminal Law. The new crimes(including the revised crimes) in the "Amendment(XI) to the Criminal Law" fully paid attention to the coordination(coherence) between the Criminal Law and related laws. However, the revision of the Criminal Law should also consider the coordination between new crimes(revised crimes) and existing crimes, among new crimes(revised crimes), and between revised criminal law provisions and relevant criminal law interpretations(including explanatory documents). The revision of the criminal law needs to maintain coordination in the setting of charges, statutory sentences and sentencing circumstances. In the face of the flaws in coordination, the justice of judicial application can be ensured by the method of supplementary explanation. In the case that the interpretation theory cannot solve the problem, it can only be improved by further revision of the criminal law.
