犯罪嫌疑人未成年亲属作证之保护——由“校长拒绝警察询问学生”切入

摘要

According to the current Chinese Criminal Procedural Law, minor relatives of criminal suspects are compulsory to give testify, which violates social' s basic ethics. The procedural safeguard of minor' s giving testimony is also unperfect. The newly revised Criminal Procedure Law recognizes the privilege of witness of the relatives to some extent, and improves the system of legal representatives present to the scene. Taking into account the human rights protection of the witnesses, the healthy growth of minors and social harmony, it is necessary to expand the privilege of witness of the relatives further, and to draw on appropriate adults participation system to improve the protection of minors.%我国现行刑事诉讼立法中，犯罪嫌疑人未成年亲属负有作证义务违背了社会的基本道德伦理，针对未成年人作证的保护机制存在疏漏。新修订的《刑事诉讼法》在一定范围内承认了亲属间的作证特免权，完善了法定代理人到场制度。考虑到证人人权保护、未成年人的健康成长与社会和谐，今后立法上有必要进一步扩大亲属作证特免权的范围，借鉴合适成年人参与制度，完善未成年人作证的保护。
