الضمانات القانونية للطفل الجانح أثناء مرحلة التحقيق النهائي

Abstract EN

By setting procedural rules during all stages of the public prosecution, it is based on singling out a special treatment for the delinquent child, different from that prescribed for the adult offender, because it is predominantly disciplinary rather than injurious, and approved centers and institutions specializing in the protection of delinquents, for the sake of the re-education and social integration of these juveniles.

The child has rights during the trial that must be respected by the juvenile judge, and in the event of his conviction, and when this verdict or decision is tainted by a procedural or substantive error, the legislator puts a guarantee for him in the form of appeal, either by ordinary or extraordinary methods, and imposes upon him only educational measures, with the aim of reforming and refining it Or, the application of reduced penalties for clemency for this delinquent minor.

Key words: Legal protection, Delinquent child, jurisdiction, criminal penalties, child law.
