CRIMINAL CODE OF THE REPUBLIC OF ALBANIA   |   7895

Article 46: Medical and educational measures

 

The court may impose medical sanctions on mentally incapable persons having committed criminal offences, whereas educational measures may be imposed on minors being excluded from punishment or, because of their age, not being criminally liable.

Medical measures are the following:

  1. Compulsory outpatient medical treatment;
  2. Compulsory medical treatment in a medical institution;

The decision on medical or educational measures can any time be revoked if the circumstances under which they were imposed cease to exist, but, in any case, the court is obliged to reconsider its decision after one year since the date of the entrance of the court sentence.

The rules revoking the court sentence containing the medical measures are foreseen in the Code of Criminal Procedure. The rules imposing or revoking medical and educational measures in relation to the child are foreseen in the Justice Code for Children.
