ARThe Argentine government has implemented regulations for the new Juvenile Penal Regime Law No. 27.801, which allows adolescents aged 14 to 17 to be judicially processed for crimes under the General Penal Code within a specialized system. The decree, signed by President Javier Milei, Justice Minister Diego Santilli, and Secretary Juan Bautista Mahiques, outlines the implementation of changes to existing legislation. Under this law, minors will remain under a special framework, including possible sentencing, alternative measures, and in some cases, deprivation of liberty. The Ministry of Justice, led by Mahiques, will oversee the implementation, coordinate complementary norms, and collaborate with provinces, universities, public organizations, and civil society groups. Key elements include the creation of a specialized supervisor role, requiring academic qualifications in education, child psychology, or social work, and the establishment of a temporary register of supervisors with a 180-day transition period. Additionally, a permanent inter-ministerial committee involving four ministries will ensure cross-departmental coordination.
