In this edition of the newsletter the Panel Secretariat introduces its new website, that includes an innovative database which provides an array of tools and resources in the area of justice for children.

On 7-8 November 2011, a Global Conference was held in Kampala (Uganda) to explore issues of children deprived of their liberty within the justice systems in Africa. Several members of the IPJJ participated in the Conference and provided, along with other participants, technical input to a set of Guidelines for Child-friendly Justice in Africa.
