El Salvador: Law Against Cybercrime

The new law prevents and sanctions the use of information and communication technologies to commit crimes such as embezzlement, fraud and espionage.
From a statement issued by the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador:

In order to protect fundamental rights such as honor, intimacy, sexual integrity, intellectual property and public safety, the Legislative Assembly passed with 70 votes, the Special Law against Computer and Related Crimes; which will aid in the prevention and punishment of offenses committed using computer technology and communication (ICT), affecting the image of natural or legal persons.

Deputy Jose Antonio Almendáriz (PCN), president of the Committee on Public Security and Anti-Drug Trafficking -the same body in which the aforementioned instrument was studied- explained that for the analysis of the regulatory body an interagency group was formed and that in order to reach a greater understanding, the structure includes a section with definitions. "The law is so new and delicate that we, members of the Commission, believed we did not have the right skills and so we called on all sectors to be involved. It was with their input that we made it," he said.
