跨境电子取证制度的发展与反思

在信息化时代,电子数据的跨境流动对各国刑事司法功能的实现有重要意义。立足于本国法的“数据本地化”要求不能成为解决跨境电子取证问题的有效方案。传统司法协助途径和非正式的远程(跨境)搜查等方式在跨境电子取证上各存在优势和不足。各国应在国际法与国内法互动的基础上,坚持司法协助的基本框架,探索一种“(相互)尊重主权、重视程序参与者权利保障、高效、便捷”的跨境电子取证新机制。

Development and Reflection of Cross-border Obtaining Electronic Evidence

In era of information, the cross - border flows of electronic data are of greater significance to the realization of criminal justice functions in all countries. The "data localization" requirement based on domestic law cannot be an effective solution to the problem of cross - border obtaining of electronic evidence. In this issue, the methods, namely traditional judicial assistance channels and informal remote ( cross - border) searches, have apparent advantages and disadvantages. On the basis of the interaction between international law and domestic law, countries should adhere to the basic framework of judicial assistance and explore a new cross - border obtaining of electronic evidence mechanism that " respects sovereignty and respects the rights of participants in the procedure, is efficient and convenient".
