从旧兼从轻

我国1997年10月1日修订的刑法明确规定了从旧兼从轻原则。

The criminal law revised on Oct.1 , 1997 adopted the " old and light " principle .

在我国，刑法立法解释、司法解释和判例均不属于刑法的渊源，不受从旧兼从轻原则的限制。

In China , criminal law interpretation , judicial interpretation and precedents are not the sources of criminal law and not limited by the principle of observing old laws and light punishment .

就我国刑法立法的发展分析，有关溯及力问题的规定经历了多个发展阶段，最终在新修订的刑法颁布实施后，明确确定了从旧兼从轻原则；

The regulation about the retroactivity of criminal law question has gone through a lot of developing stages , After the criminal law that is revised newly issue and implement finally , have confirmed the retroactivity of criminal law clearly ;

本文采用坚持罪刑法定原则在溯及力问题上的从旧兼从轻原则为主，再针对不同行为特征进一步区别对待。

This paper adopts the adhere to the principle of legality in the retroactivity of the principle of application of the old law with the exception of a less punishment in the new law , according to the different behavior characteristics further distinction .

但在司法实践中，涉及新旧刑法选择适用问题以及从旧兼从轻原则的适用问题时，由于立法本身的不完善，现有的立法并不能解决与之相关的各种难题。

In the judicial practice , however , the existing law can not solve the hard problems regarding to the application of former criminal law and new criminal law and the application of the " old and light " principle due to the faultiness of the legislation .
