Introduction

Addressing juveniles’ unique situations and their protection under international child law in the current context

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) has inspired worldwide reforms to youth and family justice systems and guided the process for dealing with children in contact with the law in a specific and specialised manner. In spite of those advances, the world has not stood still: and youth and family justice systems now need to be strengthened to consolidate the progress made so far, and to equip them to deal with current and evolving challenges. Children have particular vulnerabilities related to their young age and to the context in which they grow up. Youth and family justice systems need to continually develop to be able to address every child’s unique situation and ensure their protection in line with international standards. In recent years, children and families faced with extreme violence have become an increasing cause for concern and, therefore, a priority for governments.

As the International Agenda and recent events demonstrate, the issue of extreme violence, which may be conducive or linked to different forms of extremism, has increasingly become a priority for the different regions of the globe. Several reports by international institutions all underline how much of a priority the prevention of violent extremism and the development of effective disengagement programmes, fully respecting the Rights of the Child, are. As underlined by the recent ‘UN Secretary-General Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism’, violent extremism is a diverse phenomenon, without clear definition. It is neither new nor exclusive to any region, nationality or system of belief.

However, little consideration has been given to children or underage juveniles and their families’ involvement, perhaps because procedures and policies have to be adapted to fit their particular needs and risk factors.

Promoting and strengthening juvenile and family justice systems to face evolving challenges

The way child suspects, for whatever reason, are treated needs to be considered in relation to the particular impact it may have on girls and boys under 18, who are children before they are suspects. Children engaged in violent extremism are faced with several additional dangers compared to adults, and criminal policies cannot simply be applied to them as if they were adults. In this context juvenile and family justice agencies as well as practitioners and social actors from many countries have expressed a pressing need for support to help them to identify, prevent and deal with children and young adults’ engagement in violent extremism.

4

The rights of children are protected by several international instruments. It is well known that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) has been ratified by 191 countries. Despite this, it is often and reasonably asked, does legislation passed by States make sure that child and family justice systems are child-focused? Does this domestic legislation and its implementation reflect the UNCRC Article 3 with its imperative that the ‘best interests’ of the child are the primary consideration? Are children’s voices and their participation clearly heard and facilitated?

Criminology, psychology and neuroscience have confirmed that active participation by a child in criminal judicial proceedings is key to preventing offending and recidivism and to promoting inclusion so that they grow up to be responsible citizens. It is also known that some children are subject to proceedings in both criminal and civil proceedings, but is the voice of the child in need of care and protection taken into account? Are professionals sufficiently well trained to receive it?

There is a growing awareness and body of evidence that not involving children and young people and listening carefully to their voices can lead to disaffection, to a sense of alienation and defeat disengagement programmes.

The views of children and young people in contact with the justice system will be included in sessions during the Congress and remotely in the run up to the event. A group of young people aged 15 to 24 will attend the event in Paris to take part in a workshop on the participation of children in justice proceedings. The session will engage young people in a discussion about their experiences what change is needed in justice systems and how to engage young people in juvenile justice advocacy. On the last day of the congress, one young participant will present the results of the workshop to the plenary.

The participation of young people has been organised with Repairs, VoxLiminis and Terre des hommes.

The 2018 World Congress on Justice for Children: Strengthening Justice Systems for Children: Challenges, including disengagement from violent extremism

These considerations and other challenges affecting children have prompted a consortium of six international organisations active in the field of juvenile and family justice and in the prevention of violence and extremism to work together to organise this 2018 World Congress on Justice for Children: "Strengthening Justice Systems for Children: Challenges, including disengagement from violent extremism ", which will be held at UNESCO House in Paris, France from 28th to 30th May 2018.

Objectives

The World Congress on Justice for children aims: ➜ to bring together, from across the world, judges, magistrates, prosecutors, defence lawyers, experts, professionals, representatives of public agencies, institutions and universities specialised in justice systems for children and their families

➜ to capture children’s perspectives and experiences of judicial proceedings ➜ to review progress in making the rights of children globally effective and to seek to identify practical approaches to facilitate disengagement processes

➜ look critically at recent research in criminology and neuroscience suggesting that the active participation of children in judicial proceedings is a key to steering them away from extremism and recidivism as well as protecting them from harm

➜ to take into consideration the role of the family as a key actor in all interventions affecting children and

➜ to train and raise awareness of professionals and stakeholders on current issues related to the voice of the child in juvenile and family justice and in the prevention of offending and violent extremism

Content

The 2018 World Congress on Justice for Children will focus mainly on the different global trends towards juvenile and family justice including children’s involvement in violent extremism and the most innovative validated responses to this phenomenon. More generally, it will pay special attention to defining effective ways to reduce juvenile offending and recidivism, and to improving protection and early prevention mechanisms for vulnerable children.

Over the three days, speakers will present strategies and experiences to strengthen juvenile and family justice systems around the world, by proposing concrete and promising practices concerning child protection, youth crime prevention, diversion and alternative programmes to detention, aftercare and reintegration.

Three major issues will be addressed ➜ The global trend towards children’s involvement in violent extremism and possible responses

➜ The need for more effective ways to reduce juvenile offending and recidivism ➜ How to improve protection mechanisms for vulnerable children, including early prevention

Global initiatives

The Global Study was commissioned by the UN Secretary-General and is being lead by Manfred Nowak as the lead Independent Expert. One of the objectives is to assess the size of the problem, including the profile of children deprived of liberty, as well as the type and length, reasons given, the root-causes, and the places of detention. The World Congress on Justice for Children is the opportunity for an international consultation on justice for children as an official contribution to the UN Global Study.

UN Global Study on Children Deprived of their Liberty

UNODC handbook on Children Recruited and Exploited by Terrorist and Violent Extremist Groups: the Role of the Justice System

UNODC will contribute to the World Congress by presenting its recent Handbook on Children recruited and Exploited by Terrorist and Violent Extremist Groups and the work that the Office has been carrying out at international, regional and national levels with the objective of strengthening partnerships for advancing policy reform in this area. The World Congress is also an opportunity for co-organisers and UNODC to strengthen their cooperation with a view to supporting Governments in overcoming the challenges related to new phenomenon of children involved with terrorist and violent extremist groups.

The Memorandum of Neuchatel, addresses the emerging questions regarding children involved in terrorism, and the different phases of criminal justice responses, which include prevention, investigation, prosecution, sentencing, and reintegration. The World Congress aims to be a platform to promote this initiative.

Memorandum of Neuchâtel

Radicalism, violent extremism and terrorism, sit at the forefront of today’s policy discussions, in both Arab and non-Arab states. Characteristic of today’s violent extremist networks is the disproportionate participation of youth. In response, this report offers a different framework for preventing violent extremism by promoting a more integrated and resilience youth society.

Photography exhibition: Every Child has a story

Room V Programme (closed meeting)

Still hundreds of miles away in their village, Oscar’s parents didn’t know he was in prison for stealing bus fares. A small and painfully shy boy, Oscar would nearly burst into tears whenever he could summon the courage to look me in the eye. Despite being arrested for a petty crime, Oscar had little hope of making bail or getting an early release.

There are one million children in prison around the world. Each one is a child – just like Oscar. Each one has a story. But they are locked behind cement walls, chain-linked fences, police dogs, armed guards, and iron bars – just like Oscar. Their stories are locked away, too, far from our comfortable lives. Telling their stories is powerful. It is the first step to their freedom.
