摘要
刑事追诉时效系刑事责任的法定消灭事由,在跨越前后不同的刑事法律规范时需要审慎评判时效制度的适用。刑事追诉时效制度的实质是督促刑事追诉权的及时有效行使,这是理解刑事追诉制度的核心,在刑事追诉已经启动的情形下非因特定事由不能以超过时效期限来排除刑事责任的追究。旧刑法的时效制度存在非周延性,此时需要结合刑事追诉权的教义实质进行漏洞填补。在新刑法的法定刑未发生变动且时效制度具有明确指向时,原有的刑事追诉权仍然蕴藏于案件背后具有持续效力,此时基于追诉时效核准制度的局限性勿需寻求该路径。从旧兼从轻原则需要在权益保障与处罚妥当之间予以兼顾,不能以追求最终的从宽处罚作为其适用的惟一衡量标准,更不能在追诉时效适用时以不追究刑事责任作为贯彻该原则的实践归宿。
The limitation of criminal prosecution is the legal cause for the elimination of criminal responsibility.When crossing different criminal legal norms before and after,we need to carefully evaluate the application of the limitation system.The essence of the limitation of criminal prosecution system is to urge the timely and effective exercise of the right of criminal prosecution,which is the core of understanding the criminal prosecution system.When the criminal prosecution has been started,the investigation of criminal responsibility cannot be excluded by exceeding the limitation period for no specific reason.The limitation system of the old criminal law is non-extensive.At this time,it is necessary to fi ll the loopholes in combination with the doctrinal essence of the right of criminal prosecution.When the legal punishment of the new criminal law has not changed and the prescription system has a clear direction,the original criminal prosecution right is still hidden behind the case and has continuous effect.At this time,based on the limitations of the prosecution prescription approval system,it is not necessary to seek this path.The old and lighter principle need to be taken into account between the protection of rights and interests and the appropriate punishment.The pursuit of the fi nal lenient punishment cannot be regarded as the only measure of its application,nor can non-prosecution of criminal responsibility be regarded as the practical end result of implementing the principle when the limitation of prosecution is applied.
