The Spanish government is proposing to include in the forthcoming Law on Minors the reduction of the age of criminal liability, for minors accused of terrorist acts, from 18 to 16 years. Some members of the General Council of the Judiciary, an official body which will be required to give an opinion on the proposed law, have already described the step as completely unconstitutional.
