Witchcraft and the human rights of persons with albinism 2017, para. 42
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Despite these considerations, it appears that various countries with records of attacks do criminalize witchcraft, using a definition of the phenomena in their legislation. However, most of these laws were inherited from the colonial period and are often out of touch with present reality. They bear a limited understanding of witchcraft - its extent, scope, flexibility and evolution - and proffer a definition of the phenomena that is difficult to enforce.
