THE Personal Statement Of A Minor Under Eighteen Years Old In Front Of The (In)Admissibility Of His Confession

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the personal testimony of minors under the age of eighteen regarding the (in)admissibility of their confession, with the purpose of understanding the impact of this issue on the application of justice and the rights of young people in the legal system. To this end, a detailed study of the relevant legislation, relevant jurisprudence and legal theories related to the topic will be carried out, in addition to an empirical analysis of legal cases involving testimony from minors. The aim is to contribute to improving research for legal practices, aiming to ensure more equitable justice for young people. This involves not only understanding the challenges faced by minors under the age of eighteen in relation to the admissibility of their confessions, but also proposing measures and policies that promote their rights and protect their interests. The personal statement of a minor under the age of eighteen is a complex topic that involves legal, psychological and ethical issues. Confession is a powerful form of evidence in a trial, but when it comes to minors, especially those under the age of eighteen, there are a number of specific considerations that must be taken into account. The research is justified, considering that it is crucial to understand the personal testimony of minors under eighteen years of age in light of the (in)admissibility of their confession for several reasons, such as the protection of the rights of children and adolescents.
