PRINCIPLE OF EQUALITY Cuban law is dedicated to advancing equality among the Cuban population. SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL LAW Family law Criminal law Cuba's criminal code was based on Spanish law until 1989. Controversial portions of Cuba's criminal code include vague provisions providing for the arrest of persons committing anti-revolutionary acts. Cuban criminal procedure has come under fire from critics for engaging in summary procedures. Private property Cuba has laws protecting private property and ownership of individual property. Cuban law regarding private property has been heavily criticized as offering little to no protection to private property. In 1992, in response to the Special Period , the Cuban constitution was changed to authorize the limited existence of joint ventures and corporations. Economic regulation Cuba's laws provide for strong government regulation of the economy in almost all of its facets.
