Analysis of norms approved by the Constitutional Convention that affect security, defense, and international relations

Análisis de normas aprobadas por la Convención Constitucional que afectan materias de seguridad, defensa y relaciones internacionales

The Constitutional Convention delivered the text resulting from the work of the body to begin the harmonization process[1]. With this step, the substantive work concludes and an important, albeit more formal, process begins to obtain the final document that will be submitted to a plebiscite on September 4, 2022.

The subjects included are those that have already been approved by more than two-thirds of the constituents and, therefore, will be part of the constitutional proposal. Consequently, it is now possible to analyze the topics gathered in the draft, as they will not be modified, eliminated, or changed in substance from what is proposed as the future political constitution.

In the following lines, an analysis will be conducted of those matters that will have a significant, controversial, and direct impact on aspects related to international relations, security, and defense, as well as on the armed institutions and public order and security. As the work progresses, the new articles will be presented, highlighting the subjects for analysis, and subsequently, observations will be made. The identification of the articles is done according to the sequential numbering of the 499 articles contained in the draft.
