| Riepilogo: | On 15 May 2006, the second revised edition of the USCCB's decree Essential Norms for Diocesan/Eparchial Policies Dealing with Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests or Deacons came into effect. More than ten years later, certain questions remain. Section one of this article considers the legality of the Norms, in particular the question of the apparent absence of a special mandate. Section two considers prescription in cases of clerical sexual abuse of minors, in particular the question of the interpretation of the faculty granted to the CDF to derogate from the terms of prescription on a case by case basis. Section three considers the right of defense, in particular the right of the accused to some form of contradictorium. Le 15 mai 2006, la deuxième édition révisée du décret de l'USCCB intitulé Essential Norms for Diocesan/Eparchial Policies Dealing with Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests or Deacons (Normes essentielles pour les politiques diocésaines/éparchiales relatives aux allégations d'abus sexuels de mineurs commis par des prêtres ou des diacres) est entrée en vigueur. Plus de dix ans plus tard, certaines questions demeurent. La première partie de cet article examine la légalité des Norms, en particulier la question de l'absence apparente d'un mandat spécial. La deuxième partie considère la prescription dans les cas d'abus sexuels de mineurs commis par des clercs, en particulier la question de l'interprétation de la faculté accordée à la CDF de déroger aux conditions de prescription au cas par cas. La troisième considère le droit de défense, en particulier le droit de l'accusé à une certaine forme de contradictorium. |
