المسئولية الجزائية عن جريمة تعذيب المتهم: دراسة مقارنة من النظام السعودي

Abstract EN

This study came under the title: Criminal responsibility for the crime of torture in Saudi law (a comparative study).

The importance of this study lies in the fact that the crime of torture is an attack on the personal freedom and dignity of a man, and it is one of the international crimes punishable by law (the statute of the International Criminal Court and internal laws).

This study aimed to shed light on the nature of criminal responsibility and the basis of this responsibility, the concept of assault and its images on the accused for his acknowledgment of the charge, the nature this responsibility, and the crime of torture in national and international legislation as a form of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.

The study concluded a number of results, the most important of which is that the crime of torture is an international crime and its perpetrator is punishable under international and internal law.

The study recommended a number of recommendations, most notably, that the Saudi system is devoid of any text that sets a maximum period for interrogation, so we recommend that this be stipulated in the system, that punishment be imposed on any person regardless of his capacity, and work to establish a culture of anti-torture and raise awareness from the humanitarian side for police personnel.
