The National Security Law was a Brazilian law that sought to guarantee the national security of the State against the subversion of law and order.[1][2] It was revoked in 2021 by Law No. 14,197,[3] though its provisions pertaining national security and the defense of the democratic rule of law, including crimes against national sovereignty — attacks on the nation's sovereignty, national integrity and espionage — became part of the Brazilian Penal Code.[4]
