However, the subsequent enactment, in 1993, of the Constitution strengthens the political initiative to undertake an in-depth reform of the criminal law. It was necessary that the structuring of the State on constitutional bases came up to the writing of the first criminal code approved by the General Council. On the other hand, it was obvious the need for modifications to the current text that your application has demonstrated throughout the years.

The fixing in a legislative body ordered systematically and with a vocation of permanence, in accordance with the tradition of codification, it should contribute to the stability and the knowledge of the penal law, as an essential element of definitive status libertatis of the citizen in a democratic society. The desire to make a code entirely accessible to the citizen is one of the areas with political content of the principle of legality. For this reason, without forgetting the strong characteristics of the Andorran criminal law, based on pretorianes rules with a great participation of the law, from the moment when it comes to enact a new code, it seems necessary to conform to the conception of modern criminal law systems of written law. The new code has to consolidate the material validity of the principles of criminal law and of legal certainty in the Andorran criminal law, without prejudice to give the judiciary the power of interpretation that is typical of the best Andorran tradition and give an appropriate response to the demands of Justice material.

The criminal code should be solely, however, the tip of the iceberg of a social control that cannot bypass the rules on reality which necessarily must project itself. The subsidiary nature and ultima ratio of criminal law and its fragmentary character at the time to draw the scene of prohibitions and rules that comprise it, requires a clear delineation of the different instruments of legal protection extrapenals. Criminal law is the only way you can avoid falling into the task of legal guardianship of dysfunctions in real.

II. General principles and structure of the Criminal Code of a democratic and social rule of law imposes for essential submission of the criminal law to the limits deriving from the constitutional recognition of the rights and freedoms of the citizen inviolable. Although this vision was guaranteed built up over all the code, it was considered particularly important that this starts with a preliminary title to serve as a gateway to all the articles and conditions, through scrupulous respect for the rights and freedoms of the citizen, the application and the interpretation of the text and punitive, even, the other punitive rules that can translate in special laws.

Thus, the preliminary title collection in the first place, the validity of the principle of penal legality (article 3.2 of the Constitution), with all its guarantees and derivations: taxativitat and certainty in the descriptions of the criminal behaviour (criminal guarantee), in the penalties applicable to offences (criminal guarantees) and in the form of running them (guarantee of execution), both with regard to the penalties as to the security measures, in addition to the prohibition of the analogy and the double sanction for the same fact.

It is also expressed in the preliminary title the principle of guilt or of subjective allocation, which means overcoming any form of strict liability by the requirement of actual malice or recklessness and the need for adaptation of the penal response to guilt for the fact. With regard to the security measures, establishes the criminal danger as a basis, in addition to the inescapable requirement of postdelictualitat.

The preliminary title also contains rules on the application of the criminal law in time and in space, and introduces, with regard to this last aspect, the criterion of


passive personality, which allows jurisdictional competences attributed about offences committed abroad if the victim is of Andorran nationality.

Has been chosen also for the inclusion of the principle of an international community of interests for certain crimes committed abroad.

The new code waives a structure based on the fundamental distinction of major crimes, misdemeanors and criminal contravencions, in order to avoid an excess of casuistry in the description of punishable behaviour that hinders the harmonic and systematic interpretation and facilitates the contradictions.

The delimitation between major crimes, and criminal contravencions is manifested in the criminal sanction. There will be enough, therefore, with a precise legal determination of the penalty and with a precept that this trademark where the crimes and minor offences, by the severity of the penalty envisaged, keeping, however, in the book part the criminal contravencions.

The new systematic arrangement must show their constitutional orientation, order as respects the axiològica hierarchy that the constitutional text gives all goods object of legal protection, irrespective of the fact that this group of offences that infringe upon the same legal right to understand both major crimes such as minor crimes.

III. Definition of the criminal offence, The criminal offence, consisting of a crime or a criminal contravention, is defined in accordance with the ways that you can present from the point of view of goal (action or omission) and subjective (actual malice or recklessness). In the end, regulates the Commission by default so that the unfair omissiu cannot build outside of the strict attachment to the principle of legality. In the subjective aspect is given a treatment to correct understanding based on fragmentary character recklessness of criminal law and of the principle of minimum intervention and ultima ratio. The possibilities of guardianship and repair that other branches of law (administrative law and civil), containing a load lower, make the decision to afflictive imperative to proceed to a incriminació of the recklessness of highly selective way. This concept is translated into a specific incriminació system of recklessness, rather than the old technique of generic incriminació. In this way, the offences in which there are references to their subjective form must be understood necessarily as fraudulent behaviour, and must admit the reckless Commission only there where the law expressly provides for it. The adopted model assumes that the dol must understand all the elements that make up the definition of the offence, even those who express a qualification of the fact, as the regulation of the error.

The same purpose is inspired by the incriminació system of the attempt and preparatory acts punishable, which has adopted the German model of numerus clausus. The use of the taxatiu system and closed, as well as aspire to pay the full applicability of the principle of legality, reflects the importance of the principle of ofensivitat, and in the more serious cases to punició limited, either because of the danger of the attack on the legal right protected either by the high valuation of what is worthy.

The treatment of the error based on the distinction between error and bug dedicated academically ban, and recognize the corresponding effects of impunity or decrease the penalty according to the error have invincible character or merely vencible.

The regulation of persons criminally responsible is based on the principle of personality of the criminal law and rejects any form of direct liability of legal persons, in accordance with the dominant system in the area of continental Europe. In the treatment of authorship, co-authorship forms are introduced and mediata authorship, and equates to punitivament induction but not the necessary cooperation, and is left in the field of the complicity all forms of cooperation in fact punishable not made as an author or inductor.

With regard to the exclusive circumstances envisaged in the first place the causes of justification and there is a split in the treatment of the State of need in two cases clearly differentiated, one of a receipt and the other purely exculpant sense. With regard to the causes of unaccusability adopted a model that gives a proper treatment to the problem of the actio libera in cause. In the case of the minority of age, the limit of which happens at eighteen, the code refers to the penal law of the minor.

The mitigating circumstances of criminal responsibility have been conceived with the concern to avoid an excessive ideological imprint, such as that of the old because you act for reasons of moral character or spontaneous repentance, so that gives special attention to those that may have a larger criminal functionality at the service of socially valuable objectives as collaborating with justice the support services or repair to the victim.

The desire to give satisfaction to the victim in the criminal justice system is a major concern of the new code, with the desire to avoid the victim continues the great forgotten of the criminal law. To do this, enter the full or partial repair, according to the idea of the repair to the extent of the own strengths, such as due to attenuation, and also as a criterion that must be taken into account to agree the replacement of custodial penalties and as a condition for the suspension of his execution, with the possibility of reparatòries obligations agreed in the event that the Court decides to grant the suspension. More exceptional it comes even to foresee a cause of waiver of penalty if you have reached an effective repair or a successful reinsertion of the reu.

IV. system of criminal sanctions and civil liability criminal sanctions take the form of a penalty or security measure, according to the dominant model in the countries of the area. Despite his formal differences and the peculiar sense of the security measures, designed for cases of unaccusability or, under certain conditions, of semiimputabilitat, it is necessary to bear in mind that both forms of penal reaction are integrated into a single system, presided over by the same fundamental guarantees and designed for the same purposes politicocriminals, among which is a concern for the social rehabilitation of the offender. The system of sanctions is completed with a number of accessory consequences, which can be imposed on the


individuals and legal persons.

The regulation of penalties responds to two major concerns. The first, make it possible that the answer to crime is subject to requirements of proportionality, according to criteria of mereixement and in need of punishment. Secondly, it provides a wide range of punitive forms, which include the experiences of other countries and with the priority concern to foresee potential alternatives to imprisonment, in order to avoid when possible the serious personal and social costs inherent to this penalty. Among the new penalties is the arrest of free time, conceived as a dynamic and flexible system that allows to adapt the fulfillment of this penalty in the social and family situation of the sentenced, with the desire to avoid the breakdown of employment and personal ties of the subject that would be characteristic of internment of short duration of uninterrupted nature, totally dysfunctional. The figure of the monitored control extends to the forms of semillibertat, from house arrest or arrest overnight, with the mandate that the way to run it does not involve violation of the privacy of convicted.

Also it gives a role to the worth of work for the benefit of the community, which must have the approval of the reu in order not to be assimilated to the penalties banned forced labor.

The innovative and creative effort carried out in anticipation of alternative sentences to prison can not bypass the Andorran reality, which makes it very difficult to give a significant weight to the pecuniary penalty, and the adoption of the German system of days fine. In any case, an awareness on the part of public managers and those who have to take responsibility for the application of the law should be allowed to find appropriate solutions to avoid the dessocialitzadors effects of imprisonment.

The system of individualization of the penalty is to harmonize the requirements of legal certainty and to enable the realization of the principle of proportionality with the flexibility of the Andorran tradition. So, for example, remains, as a general rule, the decision not to set a minimum prison sentence for minor offences. The established model assumes a high degree of confidence in the Court at the time of adopting criteria which will allow reaching the necessary there where the legal provisions have a more abstract nature, always according to the principles embodied in this code and with the aim of achieving a safe and equal application of the penal law.

As has already been said, the criminal code has to accommodate a dualistic system in the configuration of the legal consequences, so that penalties should be based on the author's guilt and the security measures in the dangerous criminal. Having said that, to avoid a possible change in the fraud should be based on the premise that the security measures are aflictiu and, therefore, must be subject to the same guarantees that the penalties. Therefore, the criminal danger requires the previous Commission of a crime as a presupposition. The security measures should be postdelictuals, and shall be determined by the law on the basis of the crime committed. The internment measures can only be applied when the punishment provided by law is imprisonment of freedom.

In the hypothesis of the fault of diminished or semiimputabilitat, in which it is necessary to the application of penalties and security measures, has wanted to avoid the duplicity of the punishment, but by submitting your temporary compliance with the system said "vicarial": application of the security measure and, if appropriate, subsequently of the penalty, discounting the time already served in detention center, according to the idea of getting a dual response but governed by a common functionality.

Although care has been taken to preserve the structure of the rules regarding the civil liability deriving from a crime, its content has undergone also certain modifications aimed at improving the accuracy of the assumptions of responsibility solidary and subsidiary.

V. the special part the systematic ordering of the special part is done in accordance with the hierarchy of the values emanating from the constitutional text, which leads to consider first of all the attacks against individual legal goods, leaving for a second time the crimes against State interests and foreseeing lately are crimes against the interests of Interstate in nature.

The regulation of offences against life is dominated by a desire of realization, in the environment of two figures, homicide and murder, conceived as a reality much closer than what has been making tradition. The conceptual modernization also includes the removal of the specific types of parricidi and infanticide, which do not represent peculiarities in terms of the unfair that condone its existence as an autonomous offence. Are forms of murder that do not preclude a more severe treatment or more benign depending on the degree of culpability of the actor through the mixed circumstance (aggravating or attenuating) of kinship.

In the induction and aid to suicide has been a typical cases of debugging in order to adapt them to the social reality.

The protection of the unborn life leads to a criminalisation of abortion in a way that will distinguish carefully the various assumptions, taking into account the particularities from the subjective point of view are derived from the consent of the mother. Taking into account also the abortion caused by medical negligence and the injury to the fetus so much fraudulent behaviour as reckless, with exception of those caused by the mother.

Among the new intervention needs arising from scientific and technological progress is the criminalization of more serious abuses in the use of the techniques of genetic manipulation and of assisted reproduction. Thus, the fraudulent alteration of the genotype or hereditary genetic heritage, cloning experiments with human genetic material or aberrant, and assisted reproduction not Darling for the recipient mother. It has also been foreseen the need for new legal tools to combat the traffic of organs, tissues and cells of the products or the human body.

The new code includes a title devoted to offences against the physical and moral integrity of individuals, which included, on the one hand, the traditional crimes of injury, and on the other hand, torture, degrading treatment and other crimes committed by officials in the abuse against the legal assets mentioned. In its regulation, has abandoned the system of Objectivist


determination of the severity of the crime by the days of healing of injuries suffered, a fact that hardly could be understood in the grieving process and that it is random. The new system adopted, with regard to the basic type, the German model of mixed type body abuse, injury or alternative which allows to grant physical violence on the attention that has been traditionally own the Latin laws, although it is required a certain gravity that allows them to keep the scope of the criminal contravencions. The most serious cases are identified through a mixed system that takes into account the dangerousness of the means employed by the aggressor and the risk to the lives of people, in addition to the entity of the same injury. The regulation of these crimes has not bypassed the existing sensitivity with respect to the issue of domestic violence, with a type that allows to consider a crime, if there is habitualitat, the facts that the excedirien not did considered criminal contravention.

On crimes against freedom, a distinction is made between illegal detention and abduction, in order to distinguish properly the assumptions that must be differentiated from the criminological point of view and subjective. In these and other crimes has created a qualified type when the author is authority or official, since this situation should lead to a bigger penalty, distinguishing the offence described in those crimes committed by an official against the guarantees of fundamental rights that, in another location, systematic deserve reproof bottom.

The regulation of offences against sexual freedom is the subject of a profound transformation, the meaning of which is expressed in good part by means of the new heading. It is based on the model that distinguishes between two groups of crimes, assaults and sexual abuse, which is to differentiate clearly the violent crimes of the rest. Furthermore, the solution adopted takes into account aspects such as the differentiation between the abuses with prevalence of superiority relating to adults and those that have as a victim under age or incapable, the forecast of the fraudulent abuse and a proper coordination of penal frameworks established by the various crimes. Following the conclusions of the Stockholm Declaration of August 1996 and the guidelines of the common action of the European Union, of 24 February 1997, new provisions are introduced with regard to the problem of pornography to minors. In the crimes relating to prostitution are granted differentiated treatment to the behaviors against minors, and will define with precision the behaviors of exploitation and human trafficking.

With the regulation of the crimes against the privacy it is to grant a protection to this legal constitutional base against the most dangerous assaults on the private life arising from the proliferation of new technologies, without forgetting the subsidiarity of criminal supervision with respect to the civil and the need for coordination with extrapenal law.

Also in relation to the crimes against the honour of the criminal intervention arises in restrictive terms, all assessing the chances of a more adequate protection within the field of private law.

Offences against family relations are structured in attention to the diversity of interests to protect. Among the main concerns highlighted the desirability of illegal adoptions and to incriminate the sale and traffic of children, without a bypass from the behaviors of theft of minors, neglect of family and their children. It has been thought in the need for a specific treatment of the abduction of children by the ascending, a fact that deserves a minor criminològicament significant punitive response.

The crimes against cultural heritage are structured basically from the traditional criminal figures, although with significant rearrangements and new content, in addition to the incorporation of new types. The new systematic ceases to have as a main element for the determination of the gravity of the fact, and therefore of the penalty, the value of the goods or of the damage caused, but keeps the amount to differentiate the contravention of the criminal offense. It is necessary to specify, with regard to this point, that the new treatment of subjective aspects of crime allows Excel Automation of Objectivist character, and requires in all cases that the value of the thing, as a constituent element of the result of the material breach, to be financed by mourning.

Based on the classic distinction between theft and robbery, the conceptual boundaries between these two offences have been reviewed with the aim of limiting the definition of theft in the most serious cases of Attorney property, that are the ones who have a violent component or intimidating, and it has given to the theft accompanied by strength in things compounded treatment within the theft. On the other hand, the definition of the crime of fraud has been modified, in the sense of avoiding a casuistry asistemàtica, based on a general concept of fraud and envisaging privileged types and qualified, in addition to cases which structurally escape to the mechanics of the regular comissiva violation, such as computer fraud. It has opted to keep the crime of check in discovered, in addition to the forecast of the use of the cheque as a form of aggravated fraud, if done in the context of a fraudulent or misleading activity. The crime of misappropriation is added a kind of crime of unfair administration of foreign heritage. This is a kind, collected in the French penal code as an abuse of trust, which does not require the appropriation and managed assets and direct exercise and criminalizes unfair abuse on the part of the administrator of foreign capital.

Included in the property crimes the insolvencies, conceived (both in terms of the merchant as to whom it is not) according to a classification for independence of the commercial law. It is not possible to criminalize depending on the qualification of civil insolvency, and therefore differentiating elements have been introduced so that only the most serious hypotheses have criminal relevance.

With regard to cybercrime, has not been considered appropriate to create a specific chapter, since it must be understand as a means comissiu or the field in which you can develop several different legal assets against atemptatòries ducts. Why are planned cybercrime among offences against privacy, assets or property


the intellectual or industrial property rights. You could make similar considerations in relation to credit cards, with regard to which specific provisions have been introduced in the field of theft, fraud or the falsehoods.

The forecast of economic crimes that can respond to the most sophisticated forms of criminality has been considered very important. The proper functioning of the market and the need to ensure conditions of equality among the agents involved in economic activity are milestones that the legal system has to achieve. Of course the criminal law is not the first or the most important of the instruments of which features the State for this purpose. An ideal development of private law that disciplini economic relations between individuals and a cautious public intervention through the control that the administrative law can bring, are essential premises of a criminal intervention not dysfunctional. To the extent that the economic reality has already be disciplined form, the criminal law should be limited to optimise the mechanisms of control and help to achieve the objectives for the rest of the legal system.

The code addresses the challenge of typified with the necessary autonomy and taxativitat with respect to the most dangerous behaviour extrapenal regulations in the area of intellectual and industrial property. There are the attacks against the inventive activities such as patents and utility models and attacks to distinctive signs, basically with the protection of brand rights.

In the field of competition, it has been considered necessary typified the discovery, disclosure and dissemination of business secrets, in addition to the defraudacions the consumer. With regard to the corporate activity, is strictly typify certain abusive behaviours and falsàries to the detriment of shareholders, as well as the creation of a fictitious company or society, as a breach that can contribute to hinder actions abusive or harmful to third parties.

The incriminació of conduct that endangers social security or customs are made on the basis of the existing situation, and this code opts for a containment of the criminal procedure in connection with defrauding the social security and to maintain basically in the area of smuggling the reform introduced since prior to the approval of the penal code. More ambitious is the regulation of offences against workers ' rights, which takes into account the aspects more protection needs of this group, with the classification resulting from the imposition of abusive conditions of work and, as a qualified hypotheses, degrading conditions of work and the omission of safety measures, and that gives the attention due to the problem of illegal immigration , in keeping with the current dominant trends in Europe.

In the code have a strong presence are offences against social interests, which adopt the technical structure of the crimes of danger. With a few exceptions in which it has introduced the requirement of a particular danger for good legal, has been chosen as a general rule for the creation of types of potential danger or hypothetical, which requires verification of the potential dangerousness of behaviour but without the need to identify a particular danger, and has waived, in accordance with the minimum requirements of ofensivitat behavior , to the temptation of the presumption with abstract character of the danger. It is as well to achieve a healthy balance between the demands of legal certainty and of criminal functionality in a sector in which it is manifested an expansion of criminal law in order to meet new social needs of protection in the field of the environment, public health, the regional planning or the safety in traffic.

In the crimes against the security of the traffic, it adopts a broad concept of traffic not focused exclusively on the cars, and it typifies specifically driving under the effect of drugs, on the understanding that such conduct can only be sanctioned when this affects consumption really driving, which is expressed through a typical structure of potential danger, the refusal of the breath test, the behavior of reckless circulation with danger for people and dangerous behaviors of alteration of safety in the traffic, without prejudice to the less serious behaviors are administratively in accordance with the provisions of the rules of the code of the circulation.

Crimes against public health are specified in the food and pharmaceutical products and in others that may affect the health of consumers, in cases where it is required a higher gravity of the danger to health that make up for the lack of the material object. The regulation of these crimes avoids an undesirable characteristics and introduces assessment items to graduate the infractions. In the case of food crimes, most serious type is structured as a closed rule, in which compliance with food regulations does not allow the exemption, technique that finds its meaning in the convenience to avoid left only in the hands of the administration control of production processes, composition or expiration.

With regard to crimes against the environment, has introduced an intervention without cracks in the tutelage of the ecological system in the article 31 of the Constitution. The criminal classification is built on the violation of the administrative controls of industrial and business activities. From here you are kind of danger against the ecosystem and the health of the people.

Will also criminalize serious attacks in the spatial planning and urban development. Without disavowing that, here too, the essential role corresponds to the administrative law, the criminal law must aspire to prevent effectively the serious and irreversible damage to the urban planning, with the concession to the criminal jurisdiction of competence to arrange demolition of the building, without prejudice to the corresponding compensation. It also takes into account the need for protection of the historic heritage as well self-employed legal economic crimes unconnected to their own interests, which enables you to extend the criminal reaction, even in the attacks and by the same owner of the asset.

The crimes against the Constitution are led by the most serious attack on the livelihood of the democratic State of law,


way as to penalize with penalties more severe behaviors that pose a direct violent attack against the model of State adopted by the Constitution, which correspond roughly with the figure of the rebellion, and so much more distant, with the idea of Germanic and Anglo-Saxon tradition of high treason. On the other hand, it introduces the protection not only of the constitutional order, but also of the legislative and executive powers. For this is a change of perspective, so that what is protected is not the institutions themselves, but the constitutional structures of the State. Creating a chapter of crimes against the institutions which, in relation to the co-princes, understands that crime in his life, integrity, freedom and immunity, and, with regard to the other institutions, the constraints and the attacks on the freedom of the members of the Government and of the General Directors. The bombings in the institutions are complemented by the electoral crimes, in which the most serious attacks are planned against the rights of voters and the free, equal and secret vote as essential characteristics of a democratic regime. In terms of Division of powers, it penalizes the usurpation of powers on the part of authority, civil servant or mayor, in addition to the breach of the judgments on the part of other powers of the State and the denial of due cooperation with the administration of Justice or a public service.

In the area of fundamental rights and public liberties is given a broad criminal treatment discrimination in its various forms, figure that is complemented with the offenses to religious or national groups and against the feelings towards the deceased. It was considered unnecessary, and counterproductive, a specific classification of the impediment of the practice of religious rites or assistance to religious ceremonies, such as the coercion to attend religious events, since they offer a sufficient and adequate protection of the constitutionally relevant legal goods the crime against the exercise of the right of Assembly and demonstration and the generic offence of constraints , with the qualification as a result of the attack on the valorization of the freedom in the impediment to the exercise of a fundamental right.

An important place occupy the crimes committed by officials against the guarantees of the fundamental rights recognized in the Constitution, divided according to whether the guarantees of individual liberty or privacy, referred to the latter in violation of domicile, illegal interception of postal communications, telephone or other and disclosure of the information obtained. These crimes the penalty corresponds to the desvalor of behaviors that involve a limitation necessary in the competences attributed to the officers when these are exercised in principle legitimately, idea that is expressed in the majority of cases with the requirement of having initial legal reason, without which the offence would receive a more intense reproof, reflected in the titles pertaining to crimes against individual legal goods , specifically the crimes against the freedom or privacy.

After the crimes against the constitutional order, and as a matter clearly differentiated from the previous, addressed the crimes against the public order. In this title is expected to be in the first place the sedition, violation characterized essentially by the existence of acts of collective violence but of a lesser importance of the rebellion, to the extent that it does not tend to involve direct attack purposes to the maintenance of constitutional order. Descending to a lower tier in terms of severity and significance of the facts will regulate the crimes of public disorders, which affect the minimum content of the public policy understood as quiet in the manifestations of the citizens ' life that allows citizens to exercise fully their freedom, among which include the unlawful demonstrations, the alterations to services and supplies and false alarms. Part of this title are crimes of unlawful associations and of terrorism, which takes into account the special gravity of this type of criminality, derived, not only of the danger inherent in the organized criminality, but also of the shock of public life and the threat to democratic normality that represent the events of terrorism, issues that transcend the affectation of the individual legal or social goods that could be injured or put in danger in each case. The criminal response to terrorism is manifested in the active membership figures, of collaboration with a terrorist group and of apology. The intensity and the extent of this answer has as a counterweight a rigorous legal definition of the concepts of terrorism and terrorist group, which neutralises the perils of expansion of the forecasts of the chapter, and the offering of reductions of penalty in case of repentance accompanied with justice.

The crimes against the public function regulate after the crimes against the constitutional order. This systematic option highlights the subordination of fundamental policy in the Administration and indicates already to some extent the functionality of the infringements which picks up the code. In this area, it was considered essential to a fundamental change in the perspective of analysis, all while avoiding the protection of the administration per se, its prestige or dignity, in order to protect the development of the public function as a true object of guardianship: the public activity, the services that the various powers of the State given to citizens in the framework of a State of law , democratic and social. In short, the Administration must act to fully submit themselves to the law and governed by the principles of objectivity and effectiveness, because it is as well as it has the article 72.3 of the Constitution. The title contains a long catalogue of crimes committed from the public administration, which, therefore, adopt a structure of special offences that have the authority or the officer as an active subject: first of all, the trespass, defined on the basis of the idea of arbitrariness, and then conduct as infidelity in the custody of the documents and the violation of secrecy, the waste flows and other abuses in the exercise of the function , with special attention to cases of abuse of insider information. With regard to the treatment of the corruption, it includes bribery and traffic of influences and penalizes, with the graduation of the penalty according to the severity of each


event, no matter who is bribed as who bribes, and is granted a stand-alone treatment in judicial corruption. In order to delimit appropriately the then they deserve the different conceivable cases, it adopts the typical figure of the concussion, own, among others, French law, in which he responds to cases in which the individual is not in a position of partner in the wrongdoing, but that appears as soon as the victim of an abuse of power. A significant new feature is the inclusion, within the title devoted to offences against the public function, of the crimes committed against this legal right from the outside of the Administration, and by individuals. This option allows you to provide a more functional and less resonance in traditional offences such as authoritarian resilience and truancy, locate more suitable the usurpation of public functions and replace old figures to new types equipped with a new functionality, such as the old attack on civil servants, which is replaced by a new crime of hindrance of public functions , accompanied by another figure of hindrance of the implementation of administrative decisions.

What has been said with respect to the public administration is applicable, with its specificities, in the administration of Justice. This is to protect the administration of Justice not for herself, but to support the activities of the judiciary.

Certainly, although this title to gather the behaviors of both civil servants and other colleagues (lawyers and attorneys) and individuals, not all of the attacks can be collected and many are already categorized in other places, such as the inviolability of the domicile. The title starts with the perverting justice, in their fraudulent ways and without prejudice, as a more serious case (at least in the first of the forms) of attack against the administration of Justice committed from its midst. It also punishes the denial of Justice or non liquet.

the default of duty to prevent crimes or promote the persecution;

the cover-up, conceived as an autonomous criminal figure and not as a form of criminal participation, in its forms of real and personal backing; the laundering of money or securities, the subject of reform already passed that has marked clearly the trend to follow; the realization of arbitrary law; the accusation and false denunciation; the simulation of crime; the false testimony; the obstruction of Justice, and the disloyalty and procedural, and ends with the attacks against the phase of execution of judgments, with the figure of crebantament, which has had to adapt to the new criminal sanctions and to the new forms of execution.

The crimes of forgery, conceived as offences against the security of the legal traffic, find its location in the last section of the offences against the State and social interests, which highlights the eminently well protected legal instruments. The previous Code foresaw an excessive criminalization and not discriminadora of the falsehoods documentaries, and penalitzava all kinds of falsehood in the public and private document. The new systematics differentiates the falsehoods of the document public and private, as well as those made by officials and by private individuals. The falsehoods of the three exclusive protection respond to the typical functions of the document: evidentiary function, of perpetuating and warranty. The new treatment of these crimes has in consideration new realities in need of response, such as those derived from computer documents, the use of credit or debit cards, technical recordings, or the need to supplement the mere falsity with the destruction, damage or hiding documentary. The title also contains some of the falsehoods personal, difficult systematic location, among which is the infiltration and the usurpation of the identity of a person.

The catalogue of crimes concludes with the crimes against the international community, in accordance with the Statute of Rome of the International Criminal Court, which clearly differentiate illegal against the right of peoples, consisting of the most serious attacks against the interests of other States, and genocide, defined in accordance with the evolution of the events in the international sphere, and that extends to the figures of apology and denial of the genocide. The criminalization of acts consisting of the mere verbal or written public manifestation that is justified by the exceptional gravity of the genocide, takes into account a history of comparative law, such as the crime of denial of the holocaust in the German Code, and is subject to strict limitations, such as the requirement of advertising and, in the case of the denial of genocide, whether facts declared as tested by a jurisdiction. Enclose the title of the crimes against humanity and crimes of war and aggression, with typical descriptions similar to the international standards ratified by Andorra.

The special part of the code ends with the criminal contravencions. Against the criteria that was imposed in other legal systems, where the criminal contravencions can be understood as a dysfunctional anachronism, the Andorran reality allows you to give an important role to this traditional catalogue of minor criminal offences. Far from being inspired to trends in sign despenalitzador or fall into the temptation to increase the range of social types little desvalorades to raise them in the category of crime, in the elaboration of the new code has been taken into account the advantages of a criminal justice Administration agile, the new range of penalties and substitute penalties, the top content on guarantees of the penal process in comparison with an administrative procedure and the lower one symbolic charge of estigmatitzador type of a process and a criminal conviction in the field of the criminal contravencions in comparison with what is inherent in the crimes, so that it makes visible a reproof of the fact but with intensity and notoriously effects children.

The criminal contravencions against the people cover events objectively serious but produced by a mild recklessness and injuries, ill-treatment, the coercion, threats, defamation and insults that do not achieve the gravity needed to merit the consideration of crime. The criminal contravencions against the heritage will form as a result of having imposed a minimum amount in property crimes of less severity and significance, such as theft, scams, the embezzlement and other


defraudacions not classified, the damage and the cheque without provisioning. Finally, we collect various infractions against interests of collective-owned, some of which have a reference in criminal behaviour in terms of flora and fauna, historical heritage, public disorders or disobedience and resistance, between which, however, are introduced behaviors that include an obvious social reproof and a need to reply by their dangerousness or the fact to affect socially important feelings , as is the case of the abandonment of syringes, the mistreatment of animals with cruelty, the default driver for dangerous animals, the public consumption of drugs, certain damage to public property or damage to the interests of the administration of Justice.

By the end of this preamble and by way of summary, it is fair to say that it has been intended to achieve a full, modern Code and assimilated to the continental criminal law, without forgetting or underestimated, however, the particularities and the characteristics of the Principality and its international, economic and social status.
