time that elapses after the sentence has been served if, in the course of this period, these persons have not committed a further offence and show by their behaviour their respect for the rules of society. The introduction of the institution of rehabilitation in the Penal Code, dictated by the democratic and human content of our socialist order, is an important measure aiming at the improvement and further democratization of our legislation which prescribes that persons who are rehabilitated will, from the legal and practical viewpoint, fully enjoy all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and laws in force in the same way as all other citizens. 5. The draft law also envisages the introduction of the institution of prescription of legal proceedings and of the execution of sentencesl this means the suppression or halting of proceedings for a criminal offence or the execution of the sentence when the legally prescribed times have elapsed, not only for petty offences, as is the case at present, but also for crimes.E/CN.4/1991/68 E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/49 page 3 6. The introduction of prescription means that it is accepted that a person who has committed a criminal offence is no longer a threat to society and it is unthinkable that he should be prosecuted and sentenced. It is a logical and humane solution. 7. The prescription is planned for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years depending on the level of social danger of the criminal offence. These periods may be doubled if the perpetrator of the criminal offence avoids prosecution, but in no case may they exceed 25 years. For crimes against the State, which incur the death penalty, there will be no prescription either as regards criminal prosecution or execution of the sentence. 8. Another aspect of the further improvement of our Penal Code is the introduction of the institution of release on parole.
