Translated Title
Discussion on the Decriminalization of Defamation of Civil Servants
Translated Abstract
Crime of defamation is the product of confrontation between free speech and human dignity in the field of criminal law. Defamation to public officers coming into being a crime have the diversified considerations such as his-torical,social,constitutional law,and interest trade-offs into consideration. However,country governed by law in mod-ern society has lost legitimacy. As a public officer who owns the specific public authority should undertake socialre-sponsibilities and obligations,so rights of personality for public officers should belimited properly and must be super-vised more by public free speech. From legal interest comparison and analysis of the Constitution,we can exclude le-gitimacy of criminal law punishments to defamation toward public officers and defamation to public officers?to be borne for crimes.
