《中华人民共和国刑法修正案(十一)》新增设条款，即在满足限制条件的情况下核准追诉已满12周岁不满14周岁的人。此条款既符合当前国内的现实需要，又顺应国际社会对刑事责任年龄规定的发展趋势。在适用该条款时，应当将故意杀人罪与故意伤害罪理解为相对应的犯罪行为，包括故意杀人未遂、转化型故意杀人罪和转化型故意伤害罪。适用该条款还应严格审查限制条件，包括“特别残忍手段”“严重残疾”“情节恶劣”的标准。在低龄未成年人核准追诉程序中，行为人与被害人的权利应同样受到重视。

The Eleventh Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China has added a new clause, which authorizes the prosecution of individuals who have reached the age of twelve but not fourteen, provided that the restrictive conditions are met. This clause is not only in line with the current domestic needs, but also in line with the development trend of the international community's age of criminal responsibility. When applying this clause, the crimes of intentional homicide and intentional injury should be understood as corresponding criminal acts, including attempted intentional homicide, transformed intentional homicide, and intentional injury. The application of this clause should also be subject to strict examination of restrictive conditions, including standards of “particularly cruel means”, “severe disabilities”, and “heinous circumstances”. In the approval of prosecution procedures for young minors, the rights of both the perpetrator and the victim should be equally valued.
