The Ministry of Justice and Law (Spanish: Ministerio de Justicia y Derecho), is the national executive ministry of the Government of Colombia responsible for the administration of law and justice, equivalent to the justice ministries of other countries.
In 2011, President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón, as part of a wider justice reform and reshuffle of executive ministries, separated the Ministry of the Interior and Justice into two separate ministries as had been the case before their merger in 2002 as part of then-President Álvaro Uribe Vélez's ministerial reform.
