While Parliament Sleeps
While our parliamentarians are on holiday or busy with scandals, shady deals and little arrangements, while the country sinks into disaster, terror and dictatorship under the Iohannis misgovernment, we, the citizens of this country, are obliged to look for viable solutions, true solutions. We have no choice!
That is why I shall go on presenting to you, article by article, #TheSovereigntyLaw — a bill as large as a project for the country.
A bill and a project for the country in which I believe, and which I sincerely believe is more than necessary: it is the only solution!
From today we shall speak of the amendments that Article 9 of the Law makes to the Criminal Code, each paragraph of Article 9 adding or amending one article of the Criminal Code. Article 9 has 11 paragraphs, the Sovereignty Law thus making 11 amendments to the Criminal Code alone — although, as you will see, certain deeds have also been criminalised in other articles of the Law by way of amendments and additions to extra-criminal norms or to special laws, such as the Forestry Code or the national security laws, for example.
Paragraph 1 of Article 9 of the Sovereignty Law comes to complete the amendments the Law makes to Article 64 of the Civil Code, amendments I spoke of a few days ago and which regulated what I have called “the neuronal rights of the person” — rights that would have remained incompletely regulated in the absence of the criminalisation of the deeds that infringe them.
Thus, paragraph 1 of Article 9 inserts a new article into the Criminal Code, Article 195^1, under the marginal heading “Disturbance or alteration of physical or mental integrity”, a criminal provision which, like the civil norm it defends and completes, is at this moment unique in the world:
“Article 9
Law no. 286 of 17 July 2009 on the Criminal Code, published in the Official Gazette no. 510 of 24 July 2009, as subsequently amended and supplemented, is amended and supplemented as follows:
(1) After Article 195 a new article is inserted, Art. 195^1, under the marginal heading “Disturbance or alteration of physical or mental integrity”, with the following content:
“(1) The disturbance or alteration of a person’s individual physical or mental integrity without that person’s written, express, informed and freely given consent shall be punished by imprisonment from 5 to 10 years and the prohibition of certain rights.
(2) The act of possessing or using any system or device whose purpose is to access or manipulate neuronal activity, of accessing or manipulating a person’s neuronal activity, as well as any intervention upon the neuronal connections or intrusion at the level of the brain, whether invasive or non-invasive, in the absence of the person’s written, express, informed and freely given consent, shall be punished by imprisonment from 7 to 20 years and the prohibition of certain rights.
(…)”
Statement of reasons:
Article 9 amends Law no. 286/2009 — the Criminal Code, bringing the legislation in this field into line with the latest decisions of the Constitutional Court, and also with the legislative amendments introduced by the present legislative proposal.
Thus, paragraph 1 inserts a new article into the Criminal Code, Article 195^1, under the marginal heading “Disturbance or alteration of physical or mental integrity”, whereby the deeds infringing the provisions of Article 64 of the Civil Code, as amended by the present draft Law, are criminalised. Punished accordingly are “the disturbance or alteration of a person’s individual physical or mental integrity without that person’s written, express, informed and freely given consent”, and likewise the possession or use of any system or device whose purpose is to access or manipulate neuronal activity, the accessing or manipulation of a person’s neuronal activity, as well as any intervention upon the neuronal connections or intrusion at the level of the brain, whether invasive or non-invasive, in the absence of the person’s written, express, informed and freely given consent. The legal provisions thus introduced into the Criminal Code are necessary for the defence of the social values protected by the civil norm, and likewise for the defence of the rights and of the physical and mental integrity of the Romanian citizen, as fundamental elements of national sovereignty. (…)”
