omission which did not constitute a criminal offence at the time when it was
committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed on any person than the one
that was applicable at the time when the criminal offence was committed.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-Article 1 of this Article, a law promulgated
subsequent to the commission of the offence shall apply if it is advantageous to
the accused or convicted person.
