In the meeting, the Head of the Committee pointed out the objective of the Committee’s work. The work is to improve the criminal legislative structure by reviewing the criminal laws and submitting the necessary proposals to amend the legislation of a criminal nature, whether in the Penal Code or in other non-penal laws that carry punitive texts. “The Committee also seeks proposals to develop the special articles related to criminal procedure law according to its priorities related to the consolidation of justice and the protection of rights and freedoms,” he said, noting that lawyers perceive the existence of legislative shortcomings by practical experience, adding that “our experience as lawyers enables us to develop a better practical vision for some provisions of the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedures and Trials in a manner that serves the Kuwaiti legislative environment. He also added that the Committee will take into consideration the opinion of experts in penal law and criminal procedures in leading academic institutions such as KILAW and Kuwait University to present elaborately crafted legislative proposals.
