DERE-2403 Penal Especial

The course strives to provide a general vision of the special part of the Colombian penal law, by studying the main modalities of criminal conducts that damage or jeopardize personal legal assets, which are closely related to the dignity of the human being. The main topics include: crimes against life, personal integrity, economic assets, people and assets protected by the IHL, freedom, among others. Thus, the course seeks to define –critically and systematically- the constitutional, political, social and economic arguments that justify the penalization of the different conducts described in the applicable Penal Code, pursuant to the principles in criminal policy that limit the "ius puniendi" of the state.
