The populist amendment to the Penal Code, enacted on July 7, 2022, introduced the possibility of subjecting a juvenile who has attained the age of 14 and committed aggravated homicide to criminal liability under the general principles of the Penal Code. The disruption of the existing legal order, which previously permitted only discretionary criminal liability for15-year-olds for selected intentional crimes committed with the use of violence or posing a threat to public safety, has posed new interpretative challenges for both criminal law scholars and the judiciary. Lowering the age threshold for criminal liability of juvenile offenders has led to axiological inconsistencies within the domestic legal system. Under the current legal status, a 14-year-old may be held criminally liable as an adult for a prohibited act and face severe consequences, while simultaneously being deemed too immature—in the eyes of the law—to make decisions regarding entering into contracts or consenting to sexual intercourse. Such provisions raise numerous legal concerns regarding the feasibility of establishing culpability in such young individuals and the principle of humanitarianism with regard to penalties that may be imposed on a juvenile offender.
