Law 16 of 1960 on the Penal Code
October 1960
Law 16 of 1960 on the Penal Code was established based on the Palestinian presidential's decision and published in 1960 in the official gazette. The original Palestinian Penal Code compiles all, or a significant amount of, a particular jurisdiction's criminal law. Typically a criminal code will contain offences that are recognised in the jurisdiction, penalties that might be imposed for these offences, and some general provisions.
