deducción de responsabilidades penales
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
I'm probably over thinking this, hence the question...
Not sure about "La deducción de responsabilidades penales [...] exigido por homosexuales", as homosexuality is not illegal in Honduras, although same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex couples are constitutionally banned, so are they demonstrating for more rights or against the impunity of such crimes?
Context:
TEGUCIGALPA,Honduras Los asesinatos contra miembros de la diversidad sexual en Honduras permanecen en la impunidad. La ***deducción de responsabilidades penales*** y el cese a la violencia fue exigido por homosexuales, lésbicos y transexuales en un plantón realizado frente al Ministerio Público. Desde 2009 a la fecha se registran 97 asesinatos contra miembros de la diversidad sexual, a nivel nacional. Solo en lo que va del presente año se contabilizan seis crímenes. De los 97 casos se han judicializado 20, de estos solo dos fueron condenados.

enforcement (operation) of the criminal justice system
They want effective enforcement (operation) of the criminal justice system... which seems to be failing or it is not being effective to safeguard and protect this population sector.
Hope this helps you.

: I agree with you, although I must concede that "enforcement" is perhaps a bit too ambiguous. But overall your translation works.

criminal prosecutions
I think what is meant in the SL is determination of criminal liability. Technically, this would be a finding, ruling or decision on guilt as to a specific set of facts presented at trial. However, you may consider something that may sound more “natural” in English -- especially in a news article. For example:
prosecutions
criminal prosecutions
that criminals be brought to justice
... demanded prosecutions and a cease to violence....
... demanded criminal prosecutions and a cease to violence....
... demanded a cease to violence and that criminals be brought to justice....
Moreover, it is the Ministerio Público’s responsibility to prosecute, and it was in front of their building that they were demonstrating.
