The Protection of the Rights of Defendants in Absent-form Trials Based on Fugitive from Abroad is Balanced with the Minimum Limit
The establishment of criminal trial procedures in absentia has promoted the development of a socialist rule of law system with Chinese characteristics.While developing,the program has natural flaws that cannot be ignored.The defendant's failure to appear in a trial in absentia leads to the lack of his right to be present,the right to pledge,and the right to make a final statement,and the right to defend is reduced.In ordinary procedures,the rights of the defendant are indispensable,and the rights of the defendant in the trial in absentia procedures should be taken more seriously.Safeguarding the rights of defendants in trials in absentia can be carried out at both the legislative and judicial levels,and it is necessary to improve legislative provisions and pay attention to practice.It should be noted that when protecting the rights of the defendant,the bottom line cannot be breached.Improving the protection of the rights of defendants does not mean blindly granting them rights,but it is necessary to maintain a balance between the protection of the rights of defendants and the legal limit,and set up safeguard measures with a definite purpose.
