SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 95
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Restorative justice shows very positive results in terms of victim, offender, family and community satisfaction. The parties involved, including child offenders, recognize that they have a greater opportunity to be heard, to enhance understanding of the various positions and to participate in the outcome of the process, while having a greater sense of control over this process. This is an important factor for the effective implementation of restorative justice programmes and helps to make the system more responsive to the rights of all those involved.
