reason for that decision in its judgment”, the NIHR agrees to add this paragraph, which is compatible with the provisions of international and regional human rights instruments. 14. Regarding the addition of a second paragraph to Article (321) of the same Law, stipulating that, “To which end, it is entitled to notify the public authorities in the state, except for the health authorities, to suspend dealing with the convict,” the NIHR is of the opinion that the text of Article (321) remains as is in the original version of the Law, since it provides for sufficient provisions to achieve the same desired objectives of the paragraph added to the above Article, and it does not create a problem or a possibility of infringing or affecting the rights and freedoms of those who have a relationship or related to the convicted person, as human rights are interdependent and indivisible. 15. As to Article No. (21-bis) of the proposed law, which states that, “It may, in cases not explicitly provided for in the Law, be reconciled with an accused in violations, as well as in misdemeanors that are punishable by a fine or by permissive imprisonment that does not exceed six months. The accused requesting reconciliation shall pay a sum of money equivalent to one-third of the maximum fine prescribed for the crime, or the minimum fine prescribed for the same crime, whichever is greater, if this takes place before the Public Prosecution prior to being served the summons to appear before the court. If the request of the accused is in court even before adjudicating the case with a final ruling, he shall pay an amount equal to two-thirds of the maximum fine prescribed for the crime or the minimum prescribed amount, whichever is greater.” 16. Article (21-bis) (a) of the proposed law stipulates that, “the victim or his representative, and his heirs or their representatives collectively in the misdemeanors stipulated in Articles (290), (305), (314), (319), (339 first and second paragraphs), (342 first and second paragraphs), (343 first and second paragraphs), (351), (361 first paragraph), (362 first paragraph), (363 first paragraph), (370), ( 372), (381), (385), (386), (390), (391), (395), (397), (409 first paragraph), (410), (411), (413), (415) of the Penal Code, may request the Public Prosecution or the court, as the case may be, to prove his reconciliation with the accused for the actions he committed against him.” 17. Article (21-bis) (b) of the proposed law stipulates that, “The reconciliation stipulated in the previous article shall be concluded by virtue of a written acknowledgment of responsibility conciliation report signed by its parties before the competent security authority, the Public Prosecution, or the competent court, or the sentence enforcement judge, as the case may be. In the first case, the report is approved by the Public Prosecution. The reconciliation or conciliation stipulated in the two previous articles result in abatement of criminal proceedings in the crime subject of the reconciliation or conciliation and other closely associated and indivisible crimes with all its statutory specifications and 56
