Spanish term

de legalidad general

Spanish to English Marketing Business/Commerce (general) INFORMATION STATEMENT
Este párrafo se incluye en un apartado dedicado al Compliance System de una empresa. No sé cómo traducir esta expresión y encajarla en el párrafo. Las opciones que encuentro me parecen muy literales.

Existe un canal ético de denuncia de irregularidades, a través del cual, cualquier empleado puede denunciar incumplimientos normativos, ***tanto de legalidad general ***como de normativa interna que es gestionado a través del Comité de Ética y el Comité Compliance. Durante el 2019, no se ha producido ninguna denuncia de esta índole.

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Gracias!

(of) general legality / a general legal nature

And what, pray tell, is wrong with the literal translation? If you really dislike it, I suppose you could use "of a general legal nature".

Thus, one possible translation of the sample phrase could be something like this:
"There is an ethical channel for reporting irregularities, whereby any employee can report regulatory breaches, whether of a general legal nature or internal standards, which is managed through the Ethics committee and Compliance committee. During 2019, no reports of this nature were recorded."
Example sentence:

Documents of a general legal nature (orders, regulations, instructions, etc.).

... offering verbal and/written advice to clients on matters of a general legal nature...

(of) the overall legality

Por lo tanto, de acuerdo con la Enciclopedia de Derechos Humanos , muchos han argumentado que los colonos no pueden ser expulsados forzosamente de la isla y la mayoría de los observadores están de acuerdo en que una solución debe equilibrar la legalidad general del programa de acuerdo con los derechos humanos de los colonos .

Thus, according to the Encyclopedia of Human Rights, many others argue that the settlers cannot be forcefully expelled from the island; in addition, and most observers think that a comprehensive future Cyprus settlement must balance the overall legality of the settlement program with the human rights of the settlers.[12]

neutral Toni Castano : Same answer as before, just choosing a synonym for "general".
