Research On The Application Challenges And Solutions Of Absentee Trial Procedures For Criminals Fleeing From Justice In China

In 2018,the Criminal Procedure Law added a chapter on "Trial in Absentia",which defines the scope of cases,conditions and proceedings applicable to trial in absentia in seven provisions,including three categories: flight,death and serious illness.Since the original purpose of adding trial in absentia to the legislation is to strengthen the anti-corruption and international pursuit of fugitives,fugitive trial in absentia has become the focus of legislation and law implementation.However,due to the lack of theoretical discussion and practical experience in establishing the criminal procedure in absentia,the Criminal Procedure Law only Outlines the principle framework of the absentia trial procedure in absentia,such as the applicable scope of absentia trial,the dissent right of criminals in absentia and other aspects of the specific procedures are still very rough.The inaccuracy of legislation brought difficulties in application.After the establishment of the default trial system,there were no precedents for absentia trials in flight for more than two years,until the verdict of the first instance of the corruption case of Cheng Sanchang,"the first case of criminal default trial in China",was delivered in 2022.Therefore,in order to promote the anti-corruption work,in order to strengthen the transnational cooperation according to the United Nations Convention against corruption,it is necessary to do further research on the absentia trial system of fugitive criminal,in order to effectively promote the development of this work.This thesis is divided into six chapters.Chapter one is "introduction",chapter two "Overview of our country’s procedure for fugitive default",chapter three "application scope and improvement of our country’s procedure for fugitive default",chapter four "extratype service and improvement of our country’s procedure for fugitive default",chapter five "the dissent right and improvement of our country’s procedure for fugitive default" and chapter six "conclusion".
