Argentina lowers criminal responsibility age from 16 to 14 for serious crimes.
Argentina’s Senate has approved lowering the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 14, passing the bill 44-27 with one abstention.
The reform, backed by President Javier Milei, allows 14- and 15-year-olds to be prosecuted as adults for serious crimes, with sentences up to 15 years.
The move aims to address youth crime and accountability, but critics warn it may harm vulnerable minors and divert resources from prevention and rehabilitation.
The change marks a major shift in Argentina’s juvenile justice system and is part of broader legislative reforms under Milei’s administration.
