BIONDI: "Introduzione dell’articolo 593-bis del codice penale concernente il reato di tortura" (1948)

This procedure concerns the introduction of a new article, 593-bis, into the Italian Criminal Code specifically to define and penalize the crime of torture. This aims to align Italian law with international standards and provide clearer legal grounds for prosecuting acts of torture. The proposed change directly affects individuals accused of or subjected to torture, as well as the legal system's capacity to address such severe human rights violations. It seeks to strengthen protections against cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.
