Legislative decree No.340 is the official criminal code of Lebanon that came into force on 01\/03\/1943 repealing the ottoman penal code.<\/p>\n
Upon the proposal of the minister of justice and based on the decision of the council of ministers dated 27\/02\/1943, the draft of the law was prepared by a commission chareid by Fouad Ammoun, and composed by judge Wafic Al-Kassar and judge Philippe Boulos in 1943.<\/p>\n
It was inspired by the swiss penal code, italian penal code, and the french legislation.<\/p>\n
It is a comprehensive pillar that intends to cover all substantive aspects of criminal law and is divided into a general and a special part.<\/p>\n
The general part includes common rules for all types of crimes and the special part determines the provisions of each crime seperately.<\/p>\n
The objective of this law is to maintain law and order in society by preventing the occurrence of crimes, punish and rehabilitate the criminals and compensate the victims.<\/p>\n
Up to date and modernized, the lebanese criminal code remains the body of law after almost a century.<\/p>\n
