This is a report of the United Nations Secretary-General on activities regarding juvenile justice reform.
Abstract
This report outlines operational and other activities being carried out by United Nations entities in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in particular its provisions on juvenile justice. The report describes international instruments relating to juvenile justice (overview, interrelationships, and impact); machinery in place; and work of the United Nations to meet the technical needs of States relating to implementation of the international instruments. The Center for International Crime Prevention is ready to assist in this regard. Through its global programs, standard-setting, legal advisory services, and technical assistance activities, the center will continue to advance and be involved in promoting juvenile justice reform. The center's activities might include intensifying efforts to promote the use of juvenile justice instruments and other relevant standards to advance juvenile justice reform on United Nations policy and normative bases.
