Question

What is the criminal liability of a child under age of 7 years and under 14 years?

Answer 1

According to Article 1 of the CRC, “a child means every human being below the age of 18 years unless, under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier”.  The Article thus grants individual countries the discretion to determine by law whether childhood ceases at 12, 14, 16 or whatever age is found appropriate.
