被告人未经宣誓陈述制度是英美法的一种特有制度。在英美法中,未经宣誓陈述不是证据但却有证据效力。英美法废止被告人未经宣誓陈述制度的做法,反映了被告人在法庭上有真实陈述的义务。大陆法及我国在理论上认为被告人陈述案件事实是一种权利行为,无如实陈述的真实义务,这违背了证据客观性和真实性的要求。
The defendant’s unsworn statement is a peculiar system of Anglo-American law. In the Anglo-American law, unsworn statements are not proof but are valid. The abolition of the accused’s unsworn statement system by the Anglo-American law reflected the accused’s obligation to make a true statement in court. According to the theory of civil law and our country, the fact that the defendant stated the facts of the case as a kind of right behavior and did not truthfully state the true obligations of the statement violates the objectivity and authenticity of the evidence.
