APLICAREA LEGII PENALE ROMÂNE ÎN SPAŢIU DIN PERSPECTIVA DISPOZIŢIILOR NOULUI COD PENAL

The article is designed to examine the amendments introduced by the new Criminal Code in the matter of law enforcement in the territory. From this perspective, we notice that the principle of territoriality is supplemented with additional provisions for defining the notions of offense and territory. The principles of personality and reality were adjusted so that they could be effective, yet without burdening the judicial bodies uselessly, and the principle of universality of the criminal law was reformulated in order to apply only to the situations for which the Romanian State has undertaken obligations internationally. New elements were also introduced as regards the international cooperation legal instruments, such as the delivery of persons to another European Union Member State or to an international court, changes that seem justified in the light of international treaties to which Romania is a signatory party.
