Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 120
- Paragraph text
- The decisive contribution of restorative justice programmes to upholding justice and the rule of law, preventing recidivism, avoiding stigma and fostering the child's sense of dignity and worth is clear. But these programmes also help to strengthen social accountability for the protection of children, while avoiding a significant financial drain on national resources. These gains can be effectively diverted to build strong and cohesive societies where children can develop to their full potential, free from fear, violence and discrimination.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2013, para. 115
- Paragraph text
- Although significant progress has been achieved, this process needs nurturing to translate the vision of the Study into reality and ensure it takes root and results in real change for all children. As highlighted by the findings of the global survey, it is crucial to sustain the achievements made, scale up positive initiatives and widen the ownership of this process of social change. But very especially, it is essential to avoid any risk of stalling the momentum built up around the implementation of the Study or of allowing this agenda to become diluted in the face of competing priorities.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2011, para. 96
- Paragraph text
- Protection of children from violence within the justice system will be another topic of special concern. As highlighted at the twelfth United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, and confirmed by numerous initiatives promoted across regions, this is an area where significant steps are needed to narrow the gap between international human rights standards and the reality on the ground, and where there is great potential to capitalize on significant experiences in different parts of the world, including the development of child-friendly justice procedures and mechanisms, the promotion of child-sensitive materials, the establishment of independent monitoring mechanisms to uphold children's rights, and the consolidation of evidence to inform the development of laws, policies and programmes.
