Colombia’s Congress concluded its session by approving two significant pieces of legislation. The first establishes a National Nuclear Safety Agency, aiming to regulate and oversee nuclear activities within the country. The second creates a public policy designed to prevent female genital mutilation (FGM), addressing a practice that, while not widespread, poses a risk to vulnerable populations. These laws were passed on the final day of the legislative period, marking the culmination of debate and deliberation. The nuclear agency’s creation signals a move towards greater control and security regarding nuclear materials and technology. The anti-FGM policy aims to protect the rights and health of women and girls by criminalizing the practice and providing support for prevention efforts. Both laws are expected to have a considerable impact on public safety and human rights in Colombia.
