This study examines the codification of the offenses enshrined in Articles 153 and 153 Bis of the Argentine Penal Code, considering the Argentine National Constitution, international treaties ratified by the Argentinian Republica, and the perspectives of both jurisprudence and the most esteemed doctrinarians in the field. By combining doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis, this work explores the typological structure of these criminal offenses, their constitutive elements and aggravating factors, as well as the interpretative criteria adopted by Argentine courts in their enforcement. From this perspective, it addresses key controversies in their legal assessment, particularly the determination of judicial jurisdiction, evaluating whether federal or provincial courts should preside over these matters given the increasing impact of information technologies on criminal law. In conclusion, the study will examine whether Argentine legislation aligns with international legal instruments, the prevailing principles of criminal law within Argentina’s legal framework and will ultimately put forward our own perspective on the matter.
