19. The crime of agitation and propaganda is one of the crimes against the State for which amendments are proposed in the Penal Code. At the present time the Penal Code makes provision for punishment of fascist, anti- democratic, religious, bellicose and anti-socialist agitation and propaganda. The formulation of the crime of agitation and propaganda is very broad and offers scope for various subjective interpretations which in practice might have undesirable consequences because they might mean that persons might be described and condemned as enemies who are no such thing. Our Party and Government have always been at pains to ensure that citizens are defended against arbitrary interpretations and acts by any organ. Therefore, agitation and propaganda against the State are reformulated more clearly in the draft law. 20. The instrument considers as a crime only those acts of oral, written and other forms of agitation and propaganda aimed at overthrowing the social and State order established by the Constitution of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania, whereas fascist and bellicose agitation and propaganda continue to be a crime against the State and are dealt with in a special article. 21. With this new formulation, the new provision in the Penal Code concerning agitation and propaganda removes the danger of subjectivism and interpretations that might lead to the violation of the law and the democratic rights and freedoms of citizens enshrined in the Constitution, while at the same time it guarantees the protection of the State's interests. 22. By narrowing the definition of agitation and propaganda against the State, as we said earlier, the punishment prescribed for religious propaganda inter alia, is abolished. That is in conformity with practice, because thus far there has been no instance of criminal proceedings for such acts. In ourE/CN.4/1991/68 E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/49 page 5
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a proposed amendment to the Penal Code of Albania, specifically regarding the crimes of agitation and propaganda. The language used suggests a focus on political and social issues, with an emphasis on protecting the state and its interests. This leads me to believe that the text is more closely related to political or social issues rather than economic or environmental ones.
