ABSTRACT

In this study, the author examines the relevant aspects for proper understanding of the regulations set out in a chapter of the new Romanian Criminal Code (Law no. 286/2009, as subsequently amended and supplemented) entitled “State border crimes". It was noted that such a chapter has no counterpart in the Criminal Code regulations, which entered into force in 1969; this does not mean it is an absolute novelty in the Romanian legal landscape. The study makes an interesting comparison between the wordings included in the subdivision of the new Criminal Code and the ones in Government Emergency Ordinance no. 105/2001 and Government Emergency Ordinance no. 194/2002 which have served as inspiration for the legislator.
