Unidad Administrativa Especial de la Justicia Penal Militar y Policial

The Unidad Administrativa Especial de la Justicia Penal Militar y Policial is a specialised administrative body that supports the military penal justice system in Colombia. It manages the administrative and jurisdictional data required for proceedings under the Military Penal Code and ensures the functioning of technological services that underpin judicial administration. The entity also facilitates the receipt of complaints and requests from individuals, which are processed in person at judicial offices located throughout the country.

Its core mandate is limited to the military penal sector, distinguishing it from civilian judicial institutions and giving it a focused regulatory role within the broader justice framework. By overseeing the configuration and maintenance of network services, the unit plays a direct part in preserving the integrity and availability of military judicial information. Its close collaboration with technology providers reflects a competency in coordinating external support to maintain operational continuity.

The organisation is headquartered in Colombia, as indicated by its official designation and public communications. It operates under the aliases Unidad Administrativa Especial de la Justicia Penal Militar y Policial and Justicia penal militar.

On 31 May 2025 the unit reported a cyberattack that compromised its network service configurations and administrative and jurisdictional data. In response it notified the relevant authorities, activated contingency plans to recover and stabilise its technological services, and began working with technology providers to restore normal judicial administration operations. As a result, proceedings under the Military Penal Code were suspended until services could be securely restored, while complaints and requests continued to be accepted in person at judicial offices across the nation.
