Abstract
The domestic laws of all countries have laid down a minimum age below which a person is exempt from prosecution and punishment. The rationale for such exemption is the absence of mens rea, i.e., not to criminalize
the acts of those who at the time of commission of the crime did not know right from wrong. International instruments for the protection of children in conflict with the law emphasize the need to observe the principle of proportionality, which means that any reaction to a juvenile offender must be in proportion to his background and the nature of the crime committed. It must take into account not just the gravity of the delinquent act but also the juvenile’s profile. Juveniles enjoy all the guarantees of a fair trial just like adults. They enjoy additional- special guarantees because of their age. The Human Rights Committee has established that juveniles should enjoy at least the same guarantees and protection as adults. Procedures against juveniles must be implemented in such a way as to ensure respect for their rights and safety and must take into account their age and willingness to rehabilitate. This is meant to avoid any form of labeling the juvenile because of the criminal offense committed and give priority to the implementation of educational over punitive measures.

Abstract
One of the entrancing marvels of protection trades that will overall be smart is the advancement of stock expenses at the squint of eyes. The expense, not in the slightest degree like that of most customer purchases, changes by the minute depending on the value monetary benefactors put on the stock. The expense of a stock is directed by using an auction system. When you buy a stock, you buy an evaluation of the possible destiny of the association. That is, the cost of a stock mirrors the appraisal of monetary patrons. Stock expenses are also affected by a wide range of associations and market news. Market impacts and general monetary benefactor appraisals can similarly impact share costs. The number of offers is limited. So if a stock has a greater number of buyers than vendors, it is worth bidding up. Nonetheless, if the backward is significant – for example, a large stock with little interest – the value falls. It's a commendable outline of the law of market revenue. All things considered, what does a monetary sponsor see about the protection trade to which he contributes? What are the components that make up his acumen? This paper seeks to investigate the viewpoint of monetary supporters in light of selected factors.

Abstract
