Code Pénal

The Code Pénal is the set of laws that define crimes and specify penalties for violations in a country. It establishes what acts are considered illegal, such as theft or violence, and determines the punishments, like fines or imprisonment. The goal is to maintain order, protect individuals and property, and ensure justice. The Code Pénal provides a framework for the legal system to handle offenders fairly and consistently, guiding law enforcement, courts, and correctional institutions in their responsibilities.
