摘要
证人出庭作证是证人的基本任务之一,世界各国普遍都以立法形式规定了证人出庭作证的义务。而证人出庭难是中国独特文化背景和司法制度下衍生出来的一种现象,它的存在不利于查明案件事实,影响了司法公正。我国应在立法上完善对证人保护的规定,增加给予证人经济补偿的规定,并规定证人不履行出庭作证义务的法律后果,同时应提高侦查人员依法取证的意识和能力,提高控辩审三方的业务水平和应变能力,及时依法惩处报复证人的违法犯罪行为。
It is one of basic obligations for witness to serve at court.Generally,all over the country in the world provide the obligation in their legislation.The phenomenon that it is difficult for witness to appear at court results from China's special cultural background and judicatory system.Its existence is a disadvantage for investigating the truth of a case and seriously impacts the justice of judicature.In order to eliminate the unfavorable factor of judicature,China should improve the provisions of protecting witness,add the provisions of providing economic compensation to witness,provide the legal result that witness refuse to serve at court;meanwhile,China should improve the consciousness and ability of investigating faculty and punish the crime of retaliating witness in time.
