人民检察院应有权申请宣告死亡

宣告死亡为民法中一良好制度,自应贯彻私法自治原则,申请与否由利害人定夺。惟现代民法从个人本位走向社会本位,公权力于民事主体行为有损社会公共利益时亦得直接介入。这与私法自治不相冲突,反而是对私法自治的完善。因此,失踪人无利害关系人,或虽有利害关系人但不提出申请,而不申请已经或将会造成社会公共利益损害的,人民检察院可提出宣告死亡申请。

Declaration of death is a good law system in the civil code,and the application should be put in by the relevant persons who have civil rights with the disappearance.But the modern civil law tends to sociality and the public power will interfere in the personal actions when they damage the public interests.It does not conflict with the freewill in private law,but is the amendment of the freewill.Therefore,without the relevant persons or the relevant persons do not apply for declaration of death and it will damage the public interests,the law officer should have the right to apply for declaration of death.
