Costa Rica’s government has proposed a package of security bills aimed at addressing citizen concerns about crime. While the proposals offer concrete solutions, they require revision by the Legislative Assembly. Specifically, lawmakers are being called upon to address constitutional gaps within the legislation. The goal is to ensure the laws are effective and long-lasting in their fight against organized crime. However, any changes must maintain the strength of the rule of law and avoid weakening democratic institutions. Successfully navigating these concerns is crucial for enacting impactful and sustainable security measures. The current draft needs adjustments to balance security needs with constitutional protections.
