摘 要:保障犯罪嫌疑人的合法权利有利于更好地贯彻人权理念,规范侦查机关的执法行为,以改善我国的国际形象。目前犯罪嫌疑人在侦查阶段的权利保障方面还存在一些问题,比如不能及时获知自己的合法权利、聘请律师提供法律帮助的权利受到限制、自我辩护权不被重视、拒绝回答与案件无关的问题的权利无法落实;还有侦查机关采取强制措施不规范、刑讯逼供现象屡禁不止和非法搜查、扣押现象普遍。造成这些问题的原因有立法方面的缺陷,如犯罪嫌疑人不享有沉默权、没有确立非法证据排除规则、没有规定侦查人员的告知义务和律师的会见权、辩护权受到很多限制;还有制度设计上的不足,如预防侵权程序和侦查监督制度都存在缺陷;还有重实体、轻程序等传统法制观念的影响。完善侦查阶段犯罪嫌疑人的权利保障,首先要从立法上确立犯罪嫌疑人的知情权、辩护权和沉默权,实现国内法与国际法的接轨;还要在刑事诉讼中确立司法审查制度。

引 言
犯罪嫌疑人是指在刑事诉讼的侦查、审查起诉阶段,人民检察院提起公诉之前,依法受到刑事追诉的有可能实施了犯罪行为的人。犯罪嫌疑人有以下内涵:1.犯罪嫌疑人是处于辩护一方当事人,享有诉讼的主体地位;2.犯罪嫌疑人的供述是刑事诉讼证据的一种;3.犯罪嫌疑人是被采取强制措施追究刑事责任的对象,可能会被定罪科刑。从其定义与内涵可知,在侦查阶段,犯罪嫌疑人由于涉嫌实施了违法犯罪行为而被侦查机关予以侦查追究。正是由于侦查阶段在整个刑事诉讼程序中的特殊地位和作用,以及犯罪嫌疑人的特殊身份与诉讼地位,使得犯罪嫌疑人的合法权利在侦查阶段最容易受到侵犯。因此,对犯罪嫌疑人权利保障问题进行研究很有必要。本文以犯罪嫌疑人权利保障的理论基础为切入点,探讨我国在犯罪嫌疑人权利保障方面存在的问题及其原因,并提出改革的具体建议,以期完善我国的人权保障机制。
