The imprescriptibility of some crimes according to the criminal code in force, to the new criminal code and to law no. 27/2012

摘要

Law no. 27/2012 for the alteration and supplementation of the Penal Code and of the new Penal Code stipulates elimination of the criminal liability and punishment execution prescription in cases of homicides and intended infractions which led to the victim's death. The mentioned Law aimed at correlating the Romanian criminal law with the norms and solutions from other European states (Germany, Great Britain, Austria, Denmark, Holland, Finland, Italy, Czech Republic, Ireland, Estonia, Malta and Cyprus). Acts of homicide are not prescribed either in the USA, Canada or Japan.Moreover, the normative act is compliance with the decision of the European Court on Human Rights, with the European Convention on Human Rights, with the European Convention on imprescriptibility of war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as with the UNO Convention on the imprescriptibility of war crimes and crimes against humanity, we referred to in this paper.
