罪刑法定视野中的刑法合宪审查

刑法合宪审查是实现刑事法治、推进宪政进程的重要方面。刑法合宪审查应当以罪刑法定原则为立足基点。现代罪刑法定原则不仅具有传统的法外入罪禁止机能 ,而且能够延伸出崭新的法内出罪正当化解释机能。我国 97刑法具有“中国特色”的罪刑法定原则扭曲了现代罪刑法定的价值旨趣 ,导致了我国刑法合宪审查的机能缺损。只有在真正确认已成国际共识话语的现代罪刑法定原则、赋予其法外入罪禁止与出罪正当化解释双重机能 ,同时改革与完善人民代表大会制度 ,才能建构有效的刑法合宪审查机制。

On the Constitutional Review of the Criminal Law

The constitutional review of the criminal law is an important aspect of realizing criminal constitutionality and promoting the development of constitutionalism. The modern principle of legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime prohibits punishment without merits and explains the legitimate of punishment within merits. The principle of legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime in the 1997 Criminal Law has distorted the value orientation of modern principle of legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime and lead to the functional drawbacks of constitutional review of criminal law. In order to establish an effective constitutional review of criminal law system, the system of People's representatives shall be reformed and perfected and the modern principle of legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime shall be really reaffirmed.
