Please add that at the end of the act section, the text is intended to provide cross-linking to the other articles, from other countries:
Similar laws were also introduced in other countries. As early as 1942, Switzerland passed its first nationwide criminal code, which contained provisions against so-called “obscene literature.” In West Germany, a corresponding law followed in 1953 after long and controversial debates. Similar to Austria, with the Pornography Act (Austria), political support came primarily from conservative circles and the Catholic Church, which saw the law as a means of combating the supposed moral decline after the Nazi era. However, the resurgent interest in obscenity regulations was not a purely German-speaking phenomenon: France passed a law in 1949 to control youth-related publications.
