C. Principal subjects of concern and recommendations Definition and offence of torture (8) The Committee notes with concern that the definition of the offence of torture set out in the State party’s Criminal Code has not yet been brought into line with the provisions of the Convention in spite of the Committee’s previous recommendations and Constitutional Court resolution 18-22 of 17 July 2012. In this respect, it notes that the State party intends to adjust its legislation as indicated by the delegation during the dialogue with the Committee (arts. 1 and 4). The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation (CAT/C/GTM/CO/4, para. 10) and urges the State party to amend, as a matter of priority, the relevant provisions of the Criminal Code, particularly articles 201 bis and 425, in order to legally define torture in accordance with article 1 of the Convention, and criminalize it in accordance with article 4, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee also recommends that the State party ensure that acts of torture are not subject to any statute of limitations. GE.13-46043 113
