【摘要】：联合国各有关机构都要求各国向其提供有关本国死刑情况的资料,还要求各国公开有关本国死刑情况的资料。基于公众的知情权、公正和有效的刑事司法的要求以及《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》的缔约国报告制度,国家有义务公开死刑资料。公开死刑资料对于公众有关死刑意见的形成和改变具有重要的作用。中国一直没有公开有关判处和执行死刑人数等情况的关键资料,这可能是出于国家形象的考虑。在中国已经提出全面推进依法治国的目标,致力于限制和减少死刑的情况下,公开死刑资料不仅无损国家形象,而且将有利于保障公众的知情权和对死刑使用情况的监督、正确认识死刑的功能和作用、批准《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》以及公众对死刑问题的认识和讨论。
[Abstract]:All relevant United Nations bodies have requested States to provide them with information on their capital punishment and to make publicly available information on their own situation with regard to the death penalty. On the basis of the public's right to know, the requirement of fair and effective criminal justice and the reporting system of the States parties to the International Covenant on Civil and political Rights, the State is obliged to make public information on the death penalty. The publication of death penalty information plays an important role in the formation and change of public opinion on death penalty. China has not released key information about the number of people sentenced and executed, possibly out of national image. While China has put forward the goal of comprehensively promoting the rule of law and devoting itself to limiting and reducing the death penalty, the disclosure of capital punishment materials will not only undermine the image of the country, but will also be conducive to safeguarding the public's right to know and monitoring the use of the death penalty. To correctly understand the functions and functions of the death penalty, to ratify the International Covenant on Civil and political Rights and to discuss the issue of the death penalty among the public.
