On The Improvement Of The Criminal Reconciliation System

The Criminal Procedure Law,which was implemented in 2013,provides for the litigation procedure in the case of conciliation of the parties and provides a clear legal basis for the criminal reconciliation system.Subsequently,the Interpretation of the Criminal Procedure Law amended by the Supreme People's Court,provides a more detailed description of the conditions and procedures for the application of criminal reconciliation.Criminal reconciliation system in criminal proceedings,can not only protect the rights and interests of victims better,restore or make up for its material damage and mental hurt,but also promote the responsibility of the perpetrators and re-socialization,and thus solve the contradictions and disputes more effectively,reduce the cost of justice,and promote social harmony.Nevertheless,at present,China's criminal reconciliation system also exists such problems as the unclear scope of the application,the lack of effective protection in the effectiveness of the settlement agreement,weak operability in the reconciliation procedures and other issues.To this end,the conditions for the application of criminal reconciliation and the scope of cases of the settlement procedure should be further clarified,and the general procedure of criminal reconciliation should be further regulated to fully guarantee the effectiveness of the criminal settlement agreement.
