About this statute

This preamble introduces Law 1952 of 2019, which issues Colombia’s General Disciplinary Code and repeals prior disciplinary provisions noted in the text. Anyone involved in a disciplinary proceeding must be treated with the respect due to human dignity. The State holds disciplinary power, and several Colombian disciplinary bodies are given authority to handle disciplinary investigations, jurisdictional functions, and sanctions. The Procuraduría General de la Nación has preferred disciplinary power and may start, continue, or transfer investigations or hearings, and may take over a case on second appeal. Municipal and district personerías also have preferred disciplinary power over the administration. Los destinatarios de este código solo pueden ser investigados y sancionados disciplinariamente por conductas que estén descritas como falta en la ley vigente cuando ocurrieron.
