也论刑法解释的时间效力

刑法司法解释包括作为文本的司法解释和作为内容的司法解释．重视其文本性，它应当具有自己的生效时间和失效时间，也应当具有溯及力；重视其内容．因为刑法司法解释是对刑法的解释，没有独立的意义，因而可以回溯适用和延后适用，没有溯及力的问题。但是．如果司法解释的内容实质上超出了刑法的含义，表现为类推，就应当将其等同于刑法对待，贯彻从旧从轻的原则。

A Discussion on Validity in Time of Criminal Law Judicial Interpretation

The criminal law judicial interpretation includes the interpretation as text and that as contents.On one hand,we should attach importance to text because the judicial interpretation has entry-into-force time as well as expiring date,and thus has retroactivity.On the other hand,the contents should be also valued because criminal judicial interpretation,as interpretation of criminal law,has no independent meaning,thus it could be applied in retroactive postponed ways,not involving retroactivity.However,if the content of judicial interpretation has surpassed the meaning of criminal law in essence meaning,we must equate it to the criminal law and implement the principle of observing old laws and lighter punishment.
