Summary/Abstract: Legal thinking with regard to omission has evolved over time, and, for a long time, inaction was not criminalized in the same way as action. The Romanian Criminal Code of 2009 regulates for the first time in our legislation the principles of liability for omissive acts and situations in which there is criminal liability for an act committed by omission, in a similar way to other European criminal codes.
