Children deprived of their liberty from the perspective of the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 2015, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- Owing to their unique physiological and psychological needs, which render them particularly sensitive to deprivation and treatment that otherwise may not constitute torture, children are more vulnerable to ill-treatment and torture than adults. The detention of children, including pretrial and post-trial incarceration as well as institutionalisation and administrative immigration detention, is inextricably linked - in fact if not in law - with the ill-treatment of children, owing to the particularly vulnerable situation in which they have been placed that exposes them to numerous types of risk. Moreover, the response to address the key issues and causes is often insufficient.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur recommends that States adopt child-friendly administrative and criminal court procedures and train police officers, border guards, detention staff, judges and others who may encounter children deprived of their liberty in child protection principles and a better understanding of the vulnerabilities of children to human rights violations, such as torture and other forms of ill-treatment. Special mention should be made of girls, who are particularly vulnerable, and to special groups of children, such as minorities, disabled children and migrants.

Children deprived of their liberty from the perspective of the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 2015, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- In this context, the Special Rapporteur recalls that the death penalty for children amounts to a violation of the prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment. Other punishments considered grossly disproportionate also amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Life imprisonment and lengthy sentences, such as consecutive sentencing, are grossly disproportionate and therefore cruel, inhuman or degrading when imposed on a child. Life sentences or sentences of an extreme length have a disproportionate impact on children and cause physical and psychological harm that amounts to cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Similarly, the Special Rapporteur finds that mandatory sentences for children are similarly incompatible with the State's obligation regarding children in conflict with the law and the prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Mandatory minimum sentences may result in disproportionate punishments that are often overly retributive in relation to the crimes committed, particularly in relation to the child's individual circumstances and the opportunity for rehabilitation. In the light of the unique vulnerability of children, including the risk of torture or ill-treatment in detention and States' obligation of due diligence to afford children heightened measures of protection against torture and other forms of ill-treatment, children must be subject to sentences that promote rehabilitation and re-entry into society.

- Paragraph text
- An important safeguard against torture and other forms of ill-treatment is the support given to children in detention to maintain contact with parents and family through telephone, electronic or other correspondence, and regular visits at all times. Children should be placed in a facility that is as close as possible to the place of residence of their family. Any exceptions to this requirement should be clearly described in the law and not be left to the discretion of the competent authorities. Moreover, children should be given permission to leave detention facilities for a visit to their home and family, and for educational, vocational or other important reasons. The child's contact with the outside world is an integral part of the human right to humane treatment, and should never be denied as a disciplinary measure.

- Paragraph text
- With regard to children deprived of their liberty within the context of the criminal justice system, the Special Rapporteur recalls that children should be charged, tried and sentenced within a State's system of juvenile justice, affording them adequate forms of protection, and never within the adult criminal justice systems. In addition, laws, policies and practices that allow children to be subjected to adult sentences are inherently cruel, inhuman or degrading because they fail to consider any of the special measures of protection or safeguards that international law requires for children. Children should never be treated as if they were adults. Because children are less emotionally and psychologically developed, they are less culpable for their actions and their sentencing should reflect the principle of rehabilitation and reintegration.

- Paragraph text
- In determining the seriousness of acts that may constitute ill-treatment or torture, due consideration must be given to physical and mental effects and the age of the victim. In the case of children, higher standards must be applied to classify treatment and punishment as cruel, inhuman or degrading. In addition, the particular vulnerability of children imposes a heightened obligation of due diligence on States to take additional measures to ensure their human rights to life, health, dignity and physical and mental integrity.

- There is widespread agreement among experts that the institutionalization of children contributes to physical underdevelopment, abnormalities in brain development, reduced intellectual abilities and development, delays in speech and language development, and diminished social skills. Inappropriate conditions of detention exacerbate the harmful effects of institutionalization on children. The Special Rapporteur observes that one of the most important sources of ill-treatment of children in those institutions is the lack of basic resources and proper government oversight.

Children deprived of their liberty from the perspective of the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 2015, para. 72
- Paragraph text
- The deprivation of liberty of children is intended to be an ultima ratio measure, to be used only for the shortest possible period of time, only if is in the best interests of the child, and limited to exceptional cases. Failure to recognize or apply these safeguards increases the risk of children being subjected to torture or other ill-treatment, and implicates State responsibility. Therefore, States should, to the greatest extent possible, and always using the least restrictive means necessary, adopt alternatives to detention that fulfil the best interests of the child and the obligation to prevent torture or other ill-treatment of children, together with their rights to liberty and family life, through legislation, policies and practices that allow children to remain with family members or guardians in a non-custodial, community-based context. Alternatives to detention must be given priority in order to prevent torture and the ill-treatment of children. This includes access to counselling, probation and community services, including mediation services and restorative justice. Furthermore, if circumstances change and the reclusion of children is no longer required, States are required to release them, even when they have not completed their sentences.

Upon admission, children should be given information on lodging a complaint, including the contact details of the authorities competent to receive complaints, as well as the address of any services that provide legal assistance. In this context, the Special Rapporteur welcomes the establishment of independent, local, socio-legal defence centres that provide children with the effective opportunity to have access to justice and subsequently to obtain remedies and advocate for systematic training in children's rights for professionals.

Drug dependence as a "multi-factoral health disorder" requires a health response rather than recourse to detention.

In particular, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, police and prison officials shall be selected, educated and paid properly and in sufficient number. Effective measures for combating corruption in the administration of justice shall be taken. Judges shall be fully independent from the executive and legislative branches of Government and shall exercise judicial functions with impartiality and professionalism. Pretrial detention of criminal suspects shall be the exception, not the rule, and shall last for as little time as possible. Pretrial detainees shall be separated from convicted prisoners, children from adults, women from men. The main aim of correctional institutions shall be the rehabilitation of offenders and their reintegration into society. Punitive policies of criminal justice shall be brought in line with this important aim, provided for in article 10 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, by means of structural reforms of the administration of justice;
