Paraguay – Duelling is Illegal

Some websites across the Internet have claimed, as fact, (just for my emphasis), that in Paraguay, duelling is legal! However, those duelling must meet specific requirements. One such condition is that the participants must be blood donors. 

A duel is when two people agree to fight with weapons and follow the combat rules.

However, according to the Mississippi Library Commission, this is more fiction than fact. In Paraguay, duelling is illegal. Ms. Gloria Montiel confirmed this from the Embassy of Paraguay in February 2010.
