程序公正是刑事诉讼立法的基准价值论

传统的刑事诉讼理论将刑事诉讼法作为刑法的附属法,刑事诉讼法的价值一直被视为一元化的工具价值。现代社会是价值多元的社会,刑事诉讼法已被视为多元价值的结合体。但是,在价值多元的立法需求条件下,刑事诉讼制度设计采取多点定位的思维方式必然导致价值冲突调整失序,刑事诉讼法内在价值的和谐性和制度设计的逻辑统一性无法完美的实现。因而,确立程序公正为刑事诉讼立法的基准价值,既赋予刑事诉讼法以独立的法治价值地位,有助于推进刑事法治,又为解决刑事诉讼立法技术方面的困难,提供了明确的指导原则和程序设计考量标准。

Procedural Justice as the Basic Value of Criminal Procedural Legislation

Traditional theory of criminal procedure sees criminal procedure law as appendix of criminal law,the value of criminal procedure law is seen as only a tool.Modern society is a multiple value society,and criminal procedure law is seen as a combination of multiple values.However,under the condition of multiple values for legislation,the designation of the system of criminal procedure will result in conflict of values without orderly adjustment,and the inherent value unification could not be realized.Therefore,setting procedural justice as the basic value of criminal procedural law,is helpful to make criminal procedure law as a independent legal branch,and to promote criminal rule of law.It is also helpful to solve technical problems in criminal procedure legislation,and provide a clear guideline and criteria for procedure designation.
