Proposition de loi modifiant l'article 190 du Code d'instruction criminelle en ce qui concerne le huis clos pour les infractions sexuelles.

This is a Belgian bill proposing to amend Article 190 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which governs when courts may hold hearings behind closed doors. The change concerns the rules for closing hearings to the public in cases involving sexual offences. The aim is to protect victims from public exposure during court proceedings. Based on metadata only; the full legislative text was not reviewed. Victims of sexual offences and defendants in such cases would be most directly affected, as the rules on public access to their hearings would change. Courts and legal practitioners handling these cases would also need to apply the revised rules.
