TORRISI: "Introduzione dell'articolo 613-bis del codice penale e altre disposizioni in materia di tortura" (1838)

This legislative proposal aims to introduce Article 613-bis into the Italian Penal Code to formally criminalize torture. By establishing a specific legal definition and penalties for these acts, the measure seeks to align national law with international human rights standards and prevent the abuse of power by authorities. This change primarily affects law enforcement and public officials, establishing strict legal accountability for misconduct and protecting individuals from torture and inhumane treatment.
