Abstract

The article analyzes the dissuasive capacity of the system to protect free competition in Colombia by studying its two legal facets: regulatory stan- dards and the institutional component. The dissuasive capacity of the system implemented in Colombia is examined based on the Model Law on Competition of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and on the regulatory implementation of dissuasive policies on competi- tion in third-party systems for the defense of free competition. The article also evaluates the above-mentioned dissuasive power of the Office of the Superintendent of Industry and Commerce, based primarily on its organi- zational qualities and structure.
