当今大多数国家从立法上肯定了被告人的沉默权，同时又作出了适当的限制。尽管赋予被告人沉默权会产生一些不利的影响，但沉默权是与刑事诉讼的一系列诉讼原则、规则，诉讼制度、结构和国际标准相一致的。从诉讼目的、道德观念、社会文明等法哲学的角度来看，承认沉默权是社会向前发展的一种必然，但是目前我国确立沉默权制度的条件尚未完全具备。 Most countries today legally confirm the accused’s right to silence, while making the appropriate restrictions. Although giving the accused the right to silence will have some adverse effects, the right to silence is consistent with a series of litigation principles, rules, legal systems, structures and international standards of criminal procedure. From the point of view of lawsuit, morality, social civilization and other legal philosophies, admitting the right to silence is an inevitable trend of social development. However, the conditions for establishing the right to silence in our country are not yet fully met.
