Our best defense attorneys for offences against life are available 24/7

The protected legal right in this offence is the human life. Its legal basis can be found in the Spanish Constitution, in several International Treaties and in the Jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court.

According to Article 15 of The Spanish Constitution of 1978 “…Everyone has the rigt to life and to physical and moral integrity, and may under no circumstances be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment. The death penalty is hereby abolished, except as provided by military criminal law in times of war…” (Chapter two “Rights and Liberties”, Section 1 “Fundamental Rights and Public Liberties”)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 states that “…Everyone has the right to life, liberty and the security of person…” (Article 3)

In the same vein, the Article 2 of The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950) regarding the right to life, establishes that:

1. Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life intentionally save in the execution of a sentence of a court following his conviction of a crime for which this penalty is provided by law.

2. Deprivation of life shall not be regarded as inflicted in contravention of this Article when it results from the use of force which is no more than absolutely necessary:

a) in defence of any person from unlawful violence

b) in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent the escape of a person lawfully detained

c) in action lawfully taken for the purpose of quelling a riot or insurrection

Finally, Article 6 of The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) says that “… Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life…”

Put your case in the hands of skilled attorneys who have a deep understanding of the law and jurisprudence on manslaughter charges.
