Penal Codes of some member countries of the Organization of American States may be found in the public portion of the OAS website, through links from http://www.oas.org/juridico/MLA/en/index.html. However, the extent to which codes are kept current is unclear, and not all national codes are available. Some countries include special criminal statutes not in their Codes, including statutes on terrorism, drug trafficking and public corruption.

Famous quotes containing the word country:

    I can love both fair and brown;
    Her whom abundance melts, and her whom want betrays;
    Her who loves loneness best, and her who masks and plays;
    Her whom the country formed, and whom the town;
    Her who believes, and her who tries;
    Her who still weeps with spongy eyes;
    And her who is dry cork, and never cries.
    I can love her, and her, and you and you,
    I can love any, so she be not true.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
    Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)
