An appeal of the new criminal code could be presented to the Supreme Court on the grounds of unconstitutionality if it is established that it violates the American Convention on Human Rights and the Inter-American Convention against Corruption, both of which have been incorporated into Panama's Constitution. However, such an appeal cannot be submitted until the entire legislative package has been promulgated.
Ante la Corte Suprema de Justicia se puede presentar un recurso de inconstitucionalidad del nuevo código penal, si se demuestra que algunas de sus disposiciones contravienen la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos, o la Convención Americana contra la Corrupción, ambas integradas en la Constitución panameña. Sin embargo, el recurso no es posible mientras no se promulgue el texto completo.
