A Comparative Analysis of National Variations in Criminal Prosecution Limitation Periods

Dr. Lucía Fernández — 2025-07-01

This study provides a comparative analysis of the statutes of limitations for criminal prosecution across different national legal systems. Limitation periods determine the maximum time after an offense during which legal proceedings may be initiated, and they reflect a balance between the rights of the accused and the interests of justice. The research examines the legal frameworks of selected countries, highlighting how historical, cultural, and legal traditions shape variations in limitation rules. Particular focus is given to the classification of crimes, duration thresholds, exceptions for severe offenses, and provisions for suspension or interruption of limitation periods. Through legal doctrine review and comparative jurisprudence, the study identifies patterns, inconsistencies, and emerging trends, such as the extension of time limits for crimes involving sexual abuse or corruption. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions about harmonizing limitation laws in transnational crime prosecution and improving access to justice.
