Final Draft Guidelines of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on Child Friendly Justice

The present guidelines are a practical tool for member states in adapting their judicial and non-judicial systems to the specific rights, interests and needs of children. Member states are invited to ensure that they are translated and widely disseminated among all authorities responsible for, or otherwise involved with, children’s rights in justice.
The Final Draft Guidelines will be examined by the European Committee on legal co-operation (CDCJ) at its Plenary meeting (11-14 October 2010) and are to be adopted by the Committee of Ministers in November, under the terms of Article 15.b of the Statute of the Council of Europe.
