Abstract

This research was initiated to provide a simplified understanding of the importance of blank penal norms and how they have been accepted as legislation on the matter has progressed. Environmental law is the main area that refers to complementary legislation.

From this research, it is observed that the Supreme Court of Justice has addressed this issue, emphasizing that such norms do not contradict the principle of legality, as long as they are clear and not subject to confusion.

In this context, a ruling was found in which the blank penal norm was applied in environmental matters. This case affected the community of the Peninsula Azuero at the time, resulting in a sanction for the crime Against the Environment, as stipulated in Article 399 of the Penal Code.
