The legal system in Colombia is quite different than what people are used to in the United States. This isn't surprising considering our countries have vastly different histories and cultures, but it can still be overwhelming to try and learn all of the intricacies of Colombia's laws. Luckily, there's a new - recently translated - resource for Colombians looking to get caught up on their legal knowledge. A free pdf document containing an abbreviated summary of the country's penal code just went live today, thanks to Pedro Alfonso Pabón. He is a Colombian lawyer and has made this document available via his website (he also has English and bilingual versions). Who is Pedro Alfonso Pabón? According to his bio, he's "a lawyer and an expert advisor on legal issues." Besides his work as a lawyer, he's "a professor at the University of Antioquia, Colombia" and currently serves as the dean of that university. His criminal code summary is intended for quick reference. Here's how it works: The document starts off with a list of important notes: 1) This isn't a translation. It was translated by the author himself at the time it was made. It's not based on any official translation of the law. 2) It leaves out parts of the criminal code that are only relevant to military personnel. For example, it doesn't include Articles 46 or 47 on military jurisdiction, nor does it cover Articles 209 or 215 on military justice. It also doesn't include some other articles on punishments for civilians, like Article 60 on administrative penalties, which is used predominantly by judges in civilian cases (for example Article 117). Some other articles are left out as well (such as Articles 33 and 59). These are some of the biggest omissions from the document, but they're only included to give you an idea of how much is missing. 3) It's only a summary. While the document is incredibly useful as a quick reference, it is still a summary. The author states this in the document itself, but it bears repeating. 4) It's based on the current version of the penal code (also known as "the new penal code"). Any new changes will be updated by Pedro Alfonso Pabón as they happen. This applies to any laws that have been changed since this document was created. Such cases are noted in section 7 of the document. Each article has a description that includes questions and answers as well as an explanation of some important terms or concepts that come up within that article. This should help readers understand what they're reading, because it shows how other people might interpret the law. It's also useful because it puts things in context by comparing them to other laws. The document also contains a glossary of frequently used terms, so readers can get an idea of what certain words mean. This is especially helpful for words that are frequently translated in different ways (such as "organización criminal" or "criminal organization"). This will help Colombian citizens get to know the language better and help them feel more comfortable when they're doing research on their own. This document is incredibly useful, especially considering how scattered information about the penal code can be - both online and offline. cfa1e77820
