Lebanon stops criminal charges for children under seven

Lebanon is seeking to amend the juvenile justice law by raising the age of criminal responsibility from seven to fourteen years, with the aim of better protecting children who are prosecuted and rehabilitating them rather than punishing them outright. This change is considered an important step that aligns with child rights standards and international treaties, and it seeks to reduce the negative impact of early contact with the judicial system while avoiding long-term psychological and social harm. The project relies on establishing an effective system of preventive and rehabilitative measures to ensure the protection of both the child and society, emphasizing that its success depends on implementing alternative social, psychological, and judicial practices. The decisive session of the Parliament is eagerly awaited to approve this law and bring about a significant shift in the Lebanese juvenile justice system.
