PENAL code LEGISLATIVE DECREE NO. 5 OF 16 December 1962 This code is still applied in the Republic of SOMALILAND and in the northern Somalia region of Puntland. It is still current in South and Central Somalia. The code which is based on the Italian PENAL code of 1930 was initially drafted by the Italian Somalia Court of Justice in 1957 and was finalised by special Legal Committee in 1962. The code was approved by Legislative Decree in December 1962, but came into force on 3 April 1964 when it replaced the 1930 Italian code then applicable in Somalia and the Indian PENAL code of 1860 which was applied in SOMALILAND . This is the semi-official English Language translation of the code which was published in Italian, and was undertaken to make the code accessible to English language speakers in SOMALILAND .
