The proposed new Penal Code would place the police and members of the Armed Forces under Civil Law for the first time. The new legislation will continue to be debated article by article in the Senate, according to the head of the Justice Commission of the Senate, Enriquillo Reyes, and the heated discussions will continue. Only 35 articles of the 147 proposed have been approved by the Commission. In future, only acts that are strictly related to the military or police will be penalized under the Military and Police Code of Justice.
