Article 112 stipulates: “A penalty of imprisonment for a maximum of 10 years shall be applicable to anyone who, deliberately or knowingly, through such injury: (a) endangers the life of the victim; (b) seriously mutilates the victim or inflicts long-term disfigurement; (c) considerably impairs, for a long period, the victim's physical or sensory functions, coital or reproductive capacity, mental or intellectual capacity, or ability to work; or (d) causes a serious or distressing illness.” With regard to the crimes committed during the dictatorship, it is important to note that Paraguay is the only country in Latin America's Southern Cone which has not passed an amnesty law.
