1、刑事公开审判制度摘 要审判公开这一原则起源于资产阶级革命时期,是针对封建主义的司法专横、秘密审判和法官擅断而提出来的旨在保障人权的一项重要思想。在现代诉讼中,公开审判作为一项重要制度,己为法治国家所普遍遵循。我国亦在宪法、诉讼法等法律中将公开审判确认为一项重要法律制度。尽管如此,当前在我国对于公开审判制度的理论研究仍然不够深入,实践中对这一制度的贯彻落实也存在着一些问题。本文主要从刑事诉讼角度,对我国刑事公开审判制度中所存在的某些理论及实践问题进行探讨。刑事公开审判制度作为一项重要的诉讼制度,能够得到世界各国的普遍重视并得以贯彻,具有历史的必然性,是人类社会实践,特别是诉讼实践发展的必然要求。
2、本文在第一部分中对该制度的理论基础及价值进行了探讨。从民主治国理论上来讲,民主政治的发展要求刑事公开审判制度。从人权理论上来讲,对公民知情权的保障要求刑事公开审判制度。从诉讼法理论上来讲,首先,现代刑事诉讼的目的要求刑事审判公开;其次,刑事审判公开是刑事诉讼公正的基本标准和要求;再次,刑事诉讼中诸多诉讼原则的贯彻实施需要刑事公开审判制度。而任何一种制度的设计及应用都以实现一定的价值为基本点和归宿,刑事公开审判制度亦莫能外。作为刑事诉讼中的一项重要制度,刑事诉讼需要实现的公正、秩序、效率等价值,也正是刑事公开审判制度所追求的价值。刑事公开审判制度与公正有着密不可分的联系,具体表现为:刑事公开审判
3、制度有助于促进控辩双方地位的平等;刑事公开审判制度有助于保障当事人参与审判活动的充分性;刑事公开审判制度有助于社会公众对审判活动进行监督。对于秩序价值,一方面,刑事公开审判制度是刑事诉讼维护社会秩序的需要;另一方面,刑事公开审判制度也是保障刑事诉讼自身秩序的需要。刑事诉讼中的公正与效率常会发生冲突,然而,这种冲突并不是不可调和的,刑事公开审判制度就能在公正与效率的平衡中起到非常重要的作用。这是因为,刑事公开审判制度通过其公开化的程序设计,不仅可以促进刑事诉讼效率价值的实现,还可以防止损害诉讼公正而盲目追求效率的现象发生。刑事公开审判制度自18世纪确立以来,历经发展,已走向成熟。特别是国外一些国
4、家关于该制度的立法,对我国实行刑事公开审判制度具有着重要的借鉴意义。本文在第二部分着重介绍了国外关于刑事公开审判制度的立法概况,而通过对联合国的有关公开审判制度的文件和英、美、法、德、日、意等国关于刑事公开审判制度的立法考察,又总结出了现代意义的刑事公开审判制度所应当具有的特点:首先,从公开的对象上来看,公开审判既包括向当事人公开,也包括向社会公开,二者缺一不可。其次,从公开的内容上来看,公开审判既包括审判过程的公开,又包括审判结果的公开。再次,从公开的形式上来看,法院审判案件的过程和结果要以特定的形式对当事人及社会公众公开,分为直接公开和间接公开两种形式。直接公开又分为对当事人的直接公开和对
5、社会公众的直接公开两种情况。间接公开则是指通过新闻媒体的采访、报道使社会公众间接的了解案件的审判情况。最后,公开审判还存在着例外情形。这主要是出于对案件的公开审理可能会危及社会安全利益或损害公民的基本人权的考虑,而对一些案件进行不公开审判。考察国外关于刑事公开审判制度的立法,总结当代刑事公开审判制度所具有的特点,再比照我国刑事公开审判制度的现状,虽然我国已确立了刑事公开审判制度,但在实践中仍然存在着不少问题。因此,本文在第三部分着重探讨了我国刑事公开审判制度所存在的问题。一是在审判过程的公开中存在的问题,如在庭审准备程序中对于证据向辩护方公开的过少:对于适用简易程序的案件的公开不够:审委会讨论
6、案件不公开;二审开庭审理的案件过少;死刑复核程序的公开不够等问题。二是在审判结果的公开中存在的问题,这突出的表现为由对判决理由的论证不充分而带来的判理不公开问题。三是在公开的形式方面存在的问题,主要是对庭审电视直播的限制不够,而对网络直播则尚有待探索。针对我国刑事公开审判制度存在的上述问题,本文在第四部分提出了完善措施。首先明确了完善我国刑事公开审判制度所应遵循的原则,主要有诉讼法制原则、诉讼参与原则和诉讼经济原则。其次提出了具体的完善措施。一是在审判过程的公开中,要建立庭前的证据开示制度:加强简易程序的公开;取消审委会;取消二审不开庭审理;加强对死刑复核程序的公开等。二是在审判结果的公开中,
7、要加强在判决中对判决理由的论证,也即加强判决说理,做到判理公开。三是在公开的形式方面,要增加对庭审电视直播的限制,与此同时还要积极探索其他公开形式,尝试网络公开审判。关键词:刑事诉讼, 审判制度,公开审判AbstractThe principle of opentrial originated from bourgeoisre volution was an important thinking directed against the judicial arbitrary, secret trial and judges monopolizing power of feudalism in

After we carried out the above mentioned works, it was found that although the penal open trial system has been established in our country, some problems exist. Therefore in the third part of the paper the existing problems of

28、 view of above mentioned problems that exist in the penal open trial system of our country, in the fourth part of the paper the measures forimprovement and perfecting are presented: The penal open trial system of our country should follow certain principles,such as the principle of litigationle gali
