Offences against honour and reputation were retained in the new Criminal Code of 2011 despite numerous demands for their decriminalisation. However, these offences were substantially modified. The key novelty was the introduction of the offence of defamation, which was modelled after the provisions of the Swiss Criminal Code, with some discrepancies. After its entry into force, there was substantial difficulty in its application, which prompted an amendment in 2015 simplifying the provision prohibiting the defence of truth and good faith for defamation and reintroducing the provision on exemption from liability, only this time limited to the offences of insult and defamation. The author seeks to answer key questions that have been raised regarding the offences against honour and reputation since the latest amendments.
