Significant results have been achieved, including:] Consolidation of the human rights foundation for protecting children from violence through the launch in 2010 of the campaign for universal ratification of the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- The establishment of a restorative justice programme is framed by significant international standards on the protection of the rights of children involved with the criminal justice system. In particular, the Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes the right of every child alleged as, accused of, or recognized as having infringed the penal law to be treated in a manner consistent with the promotion of the child's sense of dignity and worth so as to reinforce the child's respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of others, taking into account the age of the child and the desirability of promoting his or her social reintegration, and his or her assumption of a constructive role in society (art. 40, para. 1). The Convention encourages the establishment of a separate justice system specifically applicable to children (art. 40, para. 3); anticipates measures to deal with the child without resorting to judicial proceedings, provided that human rights and legal safeguards are fully respected (art. 40, para. 3 (b)); and makes reference to a variety of dispositions to ensure that children are dealt with in a manner appropriate to their well-being, and proportionate both to their circumstances and to the offence (art. 40, para. 4).
