下放部分死刑案件的核准权在二十多年的司法实践中暴露出不少弊端,尤其是对生命权的轻视。而最高法收回死刑核准权的决定不仅有效地贯彻了国家“少杀、慎杀、严防错杀”的刑罚政策,更体现了法的价值的回归,彰显对生命权的保护。 The decentralization of part of the death penalty cases in the approval of the judiciary in more than two decades exposed many shortcomings, especially the slightest contempt for the right to life. The decision of the Supreme People’s Court to regain the death penalty’s approval power not only effectively implemented the penalty policy of “less killing, cautious killing and preventing wrong killing” of the state, but also reflected the return of the value of law and demonstrated the protection of the right to life.
