The Key Points in Argentina’s New Intelligence Law

Argentina’s Reformed Intelligence Act, recently passed by Argentine Congress, orders the dissolution of the current Intelligence Secretariat and the creation of the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI), within 120 days. The new rules, which underwent some changes from the initial bill submitted by the executive branch, offers clearer guidelines in relation to the issues of classification of information and access to information, secret funds management and new guidelines for the tasks of the agents.
