Esta última posibilidad, denominada Acción Privada, ha sido adoptada recientemente en Colombia mediante una reforma constitucional. Atendiendo a lo anterior, en este artículo se revisan los antecedentes del concepto de acción penal y las alternativas que surgen frente a su titularidad. También, se estudia la naturaleza jurídica que en la legislación nacional ha tenido la acción penal, así como las posibilidades de intervención procesal que se han otorgado a las víctimas del delito en los tres últimos Códigos de Procedimiento Penal y las sentencias de la Corte Constitucional más representativas sobre el tema; hasta llegar a la consagración de la Acción Penal Privada. Establecido lo precedente, se analizará el proyecto de ley que cursa actualmente en la Cámara de Representantes, mediante el cual se pretende reglamentar dicha institución, con el fin de describir su alcance e identificar sus vacíos.Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores2013text (article)application/pdfhttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4707865(Revista) ISSN 1909-5759Revista Via Iuris, ISSN 1909-5759, Nº. 14, 2013, pags. 167-185engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
