Senegalese law addresses suicide attempts and incitement

In Senegal, suicide is not a criminal offense, but legal ambiguities persist regarding attempted suicide and incitement. Senegalese law does not penalize suicide attempts. While third parties can be held responsible for failing to assist someone in danger, the legal framework struggles to address the growing phenomenon of suicide. Existing laws are insufficient to effectively prevent and regulate suicide, highlighting the need for penal code reform to explicitly address incitement, including online.
