Análisis de la implementación del homicidio vicario en el código penal colombiano

Abstract

This paper provides an exhaustive analysis of the possible implementation of vicarious homicide in Colombia, addressing vicarious violence as a manifestation of gender violence, in line with the legal framework established by Law 599 of 2000. The research adopts an explanatory approach, based on documentation and the analysis of various criminological, social and legal perspectives that seeks to highlight the significant shortcomings of the proposals that sought the implementation of vicarious homicide as a new criminal type in the Colombian Penal Code, as they have failed to provide a clear differentiation between the different types of homicide and, instead, have proposed the creation of an additional criminal type that could result in a further extension of the Penal Code without sufficient justification. This analysis highlights the need to address vicarious violence effectively in the Colombian legal framework but suggests that the proposals put forward do not offer an adequate solution to this problem.
