70 of war or similar, which cause the death of persons or injure their integrity [...] or damage public or private property,” commits the crime of treason; iii) Article 2 of the same Decree Law No. 25,659 included a description of the criminal participant in the crime of treason. When describing the participant, it referred to certain specific characteristics of the participant, such as being the leader or head of a terrorist organization or being a member of armed groups responsible for killing people; iv) Article 2 of Decree Law No. 25,659 also referred to elements of conduct, such as: promoting “the damaging result” of the crime in question, “provid[ing], supply[ing], and distribut[ing] reports, information, plans, project and other documentation”; and v) According to Article 4 of Decree Law No. 25,475, anyone who “voluntarily obtains, collects, assembles or facilitates any type of supplies or devices, or carries out acts of collaboration, which in any way promote the committing of the crimes included in [the same] decree law, or the achievement of the goals of a terrorist group” commits the crime of collaboration with terrorism.
