Title: South Asia and the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility: Raising the Standard of Protection for Children't Rights

Summary: The following sections offer a basic introduction to the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) and related age limits. After establishing some practical working definitions, a snapshot of South Asian MACRs is presented, which is then matched up against MACRs in other regions of the world. Finally, a brief analysis of human rights jurisprudence – developed largely under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) – concludes with the basic children’s rights standards for MACR provisions, and a short comparison of South Asia’s provisions against those standards.
