Paragraph
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).

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2016, para. 114e
- Paragraph text
- [To be effective, national monitoring mechanisms need to have the following:] Access to sound data and standardized qualitative and quantitative monitoring tools, which are essential to inform a precise and objective monitoring system for places of detention, to guide strategic legal and policy reforms and the strengthening of a child-sensitive juvenile justice system, and to safeguard the rights of children deprived of liberty. Qualitative data may include surveys, interviews with children and staff, and individual assessments and recommendations issued from the inspection. Quantitative data include disaggregated information on the number of children deprived of liberty, including on the basis of gender, age and ethnic and national origin, the institutions where they are placed and the reasons for and duration of the deprivation of their liberty, and the types of crimes for which they are considered responsible and the sanctions imposed, as well as information on daily routines, food and disciplinary registries and rehabilitation and reintegration programmes, and on resource allocation and security measures, such as fire safety protocols. This information should be based on standardized templates and indicators to enable the identification of concerns and monitoring of progress within and between centres of deprivation of liberty.

- Paragraph text
- In most legislative systems that have integrated restorative justice as diversionary or alternative measures, the successful completion of a restorative agreement will see the closure of the formal case by the court. This means that the child will be burdened neither by a criminal record, nor by the shame and humiliation of the offence.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- The importance of restorative justice has become greater still in light of the growing perceived threat of juvenile delinquency, often fuelled by inflammatory media reports, which has led to the introduction of lower ages of criminal responsibility and longer periods of deprivation of liberty. As a result, child populations in detention have been growing exponentially.

- In a number of countries, juvenile justice remains an important gap in efforts to align the national normative framework with international standards. As a result, the minimum age of criminal responsibility is at times too low, adults' proceedings are applicable to children accused of committing an offence, and in a number of countries sentencing of persons below 18 can include capital punishment, life imprisonment, stoning, canning, flogging and amputation.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 108
- Paragraph text
- The social perception that juvenile delinquency is on the rise and that the children concerned pose a security threat is often not based on data. Moreover, the negative perception and stereotyping of children involved with the criminal justice system represents a significant challenge to the development and implementation of appropriate restorative justice legislation, policies and programmes. There is therefore an urgent need for effective advocacy and awareness-raising to reassure society of the benefits of restorative justice programmes.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 95
- 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.
