Abstract
The treatment of the offender must be based on the characteristics of the culture in which it is given and adapted to the prevailing economic, social and political conditions. Despite many differences, some of them deeply rooted, the various nations still have numerous characteristics in common. This was confirmed in Geneva in 1955, when the First United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders was able to agree on the well-known Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. Then as now, all the participating countries were united by the common desire to humanize the treatment of the criminal, to respect his human dignity regardless of the nature of his crime. This was the principle by which we were guided in developing the Standard Minimum Rules.
