A penal law that operates retroactively is a legal statute that applies to actions or offenses committed before the law was enacted. This means individuals can be prosecuted or punished under the new law for conduct that was legal at the time it occurred. Retroactive application of penal laws is generally viewed as unjust and is often prohibited by constitutional provisions, such as ex post facto laws in the United States. Such laws can raise significant legal and ethical concerns regarding fairness and the principle of legality.
