the Parliament of Guinea adopted a new penal code and a new penal procedure code, removing the death sentence from the list of applicable penalties. The maximum sentence will henceforth be life imprisonment, which cannot exceed 30 years.
The new criminal framework adopted also implements the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which Guinea ratified on 14 July 2003. The law also incorporates in the Penal Code acts of torture as an autonomous offense, pursuant to Article 1 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment that Guinea ratified on 10 October 1989.
