La culpabilidad dentro del estado de derecho

PROBLEM: identifying the objectives of the rule of law. The application of criminal law entails the pursuit of a specific procedure for its application and interpretation, ensuring alignment with the objectives of the rule of law in this regard. OBJECTIVE: to ascertain that the essence of state culpability lies in the establishment of a criminal law system based on modern principles. This involves addressing the challenge of defining the requirements and boundaries concerning individual accountability for unlawful behaviors, whereby the principle of culpability presupposes that penalties can only be justified through judicial confirmation that the individual can be personally held accountable under criminal law. METHOD: there are several methodologies applicable to scientific inquiry; however, the analytical, scientific, inductive, and deductive methods respectively take precedence, serving as pillars for analyzing and guiding research endeavors. RESULTS: the conducted research is anticipated to constitute a significant contribution to the discourse surrounding culpability, including its application, interpretation, and impact on the rule of law. CONCLUSION: in Guatemala, the concept of the rule of law necessitates further examination, analysis, and contemplation due to its profound legal, political, and institutional significance. Nonetheless, this exploration must involve not only the general judiciary, public officials, and employees but also encompass all facets of state independence and institutional integrity.
