Criminal Law, as Amended (Oman, Royal Decree No. 7, 1974) in English

Royal Decree No. 7 of 1974 promulgated the Omani Criminal Law that served the Sultanate for over four decades, as amended, until the current Penal Code (Royal Decree No. 7 of 2018 — coincidentally the same number) replaced it. Conduct predating 2018 is still judged under the 1974 law, which keeps this translation in active use.

Defence counsel with legacy Omani matters, researchers comparing the 1974 and 2018 codes, and anyone reconstructing the criminal-law position at a historical date are the readers for this text.
