摘要: | 對質詰問為刑事被告於刑事訴訟程序中之重要防禦權,並為多個國際公約、外國憲法、刑事訴訟程序法所明定,經我國司法院釋字384 號、582 號及636 號解釋所肯認,以我國憲法第8 條「正當法律程序」及第16 條「訴訟權」為其依據,為憲法基本權之保障。然而,對質詰問權並非絕對權,必要時仍可予以限制,於刑事訴訟程序中,因部分類型案件之考量,對於被告對質詰問權之運用,有予以限制之必要。例如,證人保護法、組織犯罪防制條例、人口販運防制法及性侵害犯罪防治法中,皆有限制被告對質詰問權行使之規定。
雖然被告對質詰問權是被告刑事訴訟程序上極為重要的權利;但是證人之作證為打擊犯罪、論罪判決之重要手段,證人保護規範與相關制度亦為決定證人是否願意於刑事訴訟程序出面作證之重要因素。惟,這兩者在刑事訴訟程序上是衝突的。本篇論文主旨即為探討被告對質詰問權與證人保護法制衝突下之研究。
