TITLE III: PENALTIES AND SECURITY MEASURES
CHAPTER 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 33: All offenses are punishable by the penalties and security measures provided for by
law when the criminal reliability of the accused or the defendant is judicially established.
Article 34: In the event of a combination of aggravating and mitigating circumstances, the
maximum and minimum penalties incurred shall be fixed taking into account successively:
1°) the aggravating circumstances inherent to the commission of the offence
2°) aggravating circumstances inherent to the personal character of the offender;
3°) mitigating excuses inherent to the commission of the offence;
4°) mitigating circumstances inherent to the personal character of the offender;
5°) the fact that the offender is a recidivist.
If the mitigating circumstances are granted, the sentence is then pronounced in accordance with
articles 114, 115 and 116.
Article 35: Sentences and security measures pronounced within the limits set or authorized by
the law must take into account the circumstances of the offence, the danger it poses to public
order, the personality of the convicted person and his possibilities of rehabilitation.
Any accomplice to an offence shall be punished for his or her own act, according to the degree of
participation, culpability and the danger posed by his or her act and person.
No security measure, with the exception of confiscation as a police measure, may be ordered
without the judge who pronounces it having previously established, by reasoned decision, that
the person concerned is socially dangerous.
Article 36: The main penalties are:
1°) imprisonment, either for life or for up to 20 years;
2°) a fine
