摘要
刑法的机能是指刑法作为一个有机整体在其运行过程中所发挥的和可能发挥的积极作用,研究刑法的机能具有理论和实践意义。刑法的机能有两个:法益保护机能和人权保障机能。在现代社会,作为"公民自由大宪章"的刑法,其根本价值在于最大限度地缩限国家肆意的刑罚权,保障犯罪嫌疑人、被告人、犯罪人乃至全体社会成员的人权。当刑法的法益保护机能与人权保障机能发生冲突的时候,应首先考虑人权保障机能的维护。
The function of criminal law refers to the positive roles which criminal law may play in the course of its operation as a whole organism.Studying the function of criminal law has theoretical and practical significance.This article claims that criminal law has two functions： the protection of legal interest and the protection of human rights.In modern society,the fundamental value of the criminal law as ＂THE MAGNA CARTA＂ is to limit the power of criminal penalty launched by state as much as possible,and to safeguard the rights of the suspects,the defendants,perpetrators,as well as human rights of all members of society.However,when the protection of legal interest and the protection of human rights in criminal law conflict with each other,we should give priority to the function of safeguarding the human rights.
