摘要:论文主要内容是通过对沉默权的探讨与分析,为建立有中国特色的沉默权制度提出合理建议。文章由四部分组成,第一部分,阐述了沉默权的产生,并对其价值取向作出分析。沉默权对于保障人权具有积极作用,同时沉默权作为一种制衡司法机关的手段,它同打击犯罪是直接冲突的。第二部分,论文对我国引入沉默权的利弊进行分析。衡量一项刑事诉讼制度的好坏,要看它在惩罚犯罪与保护人权两个方面能否做到合理平衡,从而得出中国必须引进沉默权制度的结论。第三部分,介绍英、美两国对沉默权的改革、限制的内容,指出对我们的启示。第四部分,在中国特色沉默权的构建方面,提出应从实际和国情出发,建立一种打击犯罪与保护人权兼顾,保护沉默与鼓励供述共生的沉默权制度。

我们通过前文对沉默权的评价和可行性论证,应当说我国现行的经济制度、社会基础和价值观念已具备了承载这一制度本土化的能力。由于我国不是初创而是引进,有英美国家可供借鉴的历史,我们完全可以“趋利避害”,建立符合我国国情的有限沉默权制度,其中既要注重保护人权,又要防止沉默权绝对化对司法侦讯权产生的不利影响。但在确立沉默权时,必须对它可能给诉讼制度和司法实践带来的积极作用和消极影响有一个明确、清醒的认识,既不能指望沉默权制度带来整个刑事制度的变革,也应看到其对人权保障所起到的巨大作用。尤其还要注意相关制度的建立和程序规则的完善,以便在维护程序合理实施的同时,最大限度地发挥沉默权制度的人权保障功能,以期其成为一项有实质意义的法律权利,而不只是一项空洞的权利宣言。
