“条约生成的刑法”通常是参与国家在谈判和批准国际条约的过程中达成一致的,但是,它并非两厢情愿的事情。对《联合国打击跨国有组织犯罪公约》中诸多争议的刑法“热点”问题,该公约采取了中庸之道,即在犯罪化和建议采取特别措施的义务方面,寻求最大共识,以期全世界无较大保留地接受公约。根据这种共识,无论是在国内层面还是国际层面,在处理跨国有组织犯罪的问题时要求成员国强化刑事处罚措施的运用,但这并不是说,应对有组织犯罪只能是一味地打击镇压,其他的非镇压性措施也可以起到很重要的作用。因为,有组织犯罪并不单单是一个刑法、打击镇压和刑事司法机构的问题,而且是一个在经济结构、商业和财经共同体、国家和地方行政等范围内寻求适当预防策略的重大问题。它也是以社会整体为目标的行动计划的一个重要对象。因此,公约中刑法规定的实施,无论是在实体上还是在程序上,都必须有配套的支持性的和预防性的措施。同时,公约的实施很大程度上也取决于成员国的政治意愿,而政治意愿又是公约有效性的一个前提条件。
The “treaty-made criminal law” is always agreed upon by the nations in the process of negotiating and ratifying international treaties,it is hardly completely consensual. United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime adopted middle-of-the-road,consensual approach with respect to many controversial issues,especially with respect to the duty to criminalize or introduce particular measures.The convention most probably will not meet with serious resistance in national parliaments during the ratification process and will be accepted without major reservations throughout the world.According to this common understanding,to do something about the problem of organized crime,both on national and international levels,intensive application of criminal sanctions is required. This does not mean,that organized crime constitutes solely a matter of repression;other,non-repressive measures may and should play an important role.Organized crime does not constitute solely an issue for criminal law.This is a much broader issue for proper prevention strategies within economic structures,business and financial community,state and local administration,etc.It should also be an important subject for action plans aimed at the society as a whole.So the implementation of the criminal law provisions of the convention,both substantive and procedural,has to be accompanied by a broad spectrum of supportive and preventive measures.Meanwhile,implementation of the convention is largely a matter of political will,Which constitutes a precondition for its effectiveness.
