SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2011, para. 98 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The situation of these children remains surrounded by stigma. There is little information on those deprived of liberty and on the reasons behind their detention; independent monitoring mechanisms are seldom available to safeguard their protection and address their complaints. Sensationalistic information and ill perception of growing juvenile delinquency build social pressure to criminalize children and adolescents, and for the introduction of an increasingly lower minimum age of criminal responsibility and harsher measures of deprivation of liberty. As a result, a culture of tolerance to violence against children persists, and the fight against impunity for acts of violence against children is confronted with renewed challenges. These are critical concerns that the Special Representative will address in the context of her mandate, missions and supported regional initiatives. | Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children | SRSG report |
