Politics Penal Code amendments withdrawn A government-sponsored bill amending the Penal Code to criminalize genocide and treason, submitted by South Maafannu MP Abdulla Rifau, has been withdrawn from parliament after appearing on and being removed from the agenda for sittings over two days. Attorney General Ahmed Usham said the amendment was proposed because criminalizing such acts is mandated by the Genocide Convention, which the Maldives signed 42 years ago, and that the failure to legislate weakens the country's legal arguments in International Court of Justice intervention cases. 2 outlets : Atoll Times, The Edition Source (opens The Edition in a new tab)
