我国引渡外逃经济罪犯的法律障碍和对策——以赖昌星遣返为视角

2006年6月,赖昌星遣返再次遇阻,此案折射出我国引渡外逃经济罪犯存在三大主要法律障碍:引渡条约的缺位;死刑问题;司法公正问题。有鉴于此,我国应采取相应的法律对策:扩展与外国的双边引渡条约关系;废除经济犯罪适用死刑;加强司法改革,树立司法公正的国际形象。

Legal impediments and counter strategies on extradition of economic criminals in exile by China——Discussions prompted by the repatriation of Lai Chang Xing

In June 2006,the repatriation of Lai Chang Xing was again blocked,this case reflects three major legal impediments as China extraditing economic criminals in exile,i.e.the absence of extradition treaty,the issue of capital punishment,and the question on the fairness of China's justice system.Therefore,China must execute certain corresponding legal strategies,i.e.extend bilateral extradition treaties,abolish the death penalty for economic criminals and accelerate legal reforms to improve the international perception on the fairness of China's justice system.
