In such cases, a concurrence of crimes occurs. The Somali Penal Code provides the general legal regime for them. Some special laws in Somalia (drafted or already in force) also affect their regime. The provisions on the concurrence of crimes and also other related legal provisions of the General Part of the Penal Code need modernization. The present paper is an attempt to clarify the basic ideas of the concurrence of crimes and also lay the foundations for improvement of its legal framework for as well as for the situations where this concurrence is ruled out.
