CONSIDERAȚII ȘI PROPUNERI CU PRIVIRE LA MODIFICAREA CODULUI PENAL ÎN MATERIA INFRACȚIUNILOR PRIVIND VIAȚA SEXUALĂ

Starting from the idea that the purpose of legislation, of law in general is to defend the human
being by preventing, discovering and combating any dangers that could affect or influence it, as well
as from current realities that have changed and continue to change the normal functioning of the
social system, we carried out this study in the hope that the opinions and solutions expressed could
be taken into account by the legislator in the event of amending the Criminal Code as regards the
crimes related to sexual life. Therefore, the analysis, opinions and proposals formulated took into
account the normative framework in Romania in the matter of crimes regarding the protection of
freedom and sexual integrity of the person, by reference to the criminal legislation in force, making
reference also to certain aspects existing in the previous one, as well as by reference to the
provisions of the international conventions to which our country is a party. In this paper we also
consider the fact that the current national criminal law, although subject to amendments, remains
incomplete and must be amended and supplemented so as to comply with the minimum mandatory
provisions of Directive 2011/92/EU to ensure the protection of minors against any form of sexual
abuse.
