我国死刑案件审理程序之整体改造与完善

我国死刑案件审理程序包括死刑案件的一审程序、二审程序和死刑复核程序,三者是一个统一的有机整体。随着最高人民法院收回死刑核准权,对我国死刑案件审理程序进行整体改造和完善已经成为一条既具有科学合理性又具有现实基础的改革思路。根据这一思路,死刑案件审理程序的各个阶段应遵循一些共同的程序公正要求,同时基于各阶段的特点和职能,在具体的诉讼程序设计上又应具有个性特征。三个环节应当各有侧重、繁简得当,共同在确保死刑案件质量、控制死刑数量等方面发挥作用。

The Whole Reformation of The Death Penalty Trial Procedures of China

The death penalty trial procedures of China include the first trial procedure, the appellate procedure and the review procedure. Along with the Supreme Court taking back the power of approving death penalty, reforming the death penalty trial procedures as a whole system is becoming a reasonable and realistic way. Following this way, each phrase of the procedures should obey some common requirements of procedural justice. At the same time, each should have its individuality based on different functions. All these three parts should cooperate with one another to fulfill the task of insuring the quality and controlling the quantity of capital cases.
