Consultations on Draft General Comment 27 on Children’s Rights to Access to Justice and Effective Remedies

CONTEXT : The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child has launched the process for its next General Comment no. 27 on Children’s Rights to Access to Justice and Effective Remedies
GOAL : This workshop will be an opportunity to bring together the main players in the field of justice for children, as well as children themselves. It will spark focus group discussions on how to improve access to justice for children and on the recommendations that should be made to states.
 

Children’s Rights Award

In the framework of the Conference, DCI will organise the 2nd edition of its Children’s Rights Award. The 2024 Award will be dedicated to justice for children deprived of liberty. It will highlight the way in which children’s rights are perceived by those most directly concerned – the children themselves. The Award ceremony will be on the evening of the first day (17 December), highlighting the importance of children’s participation and recognising children as defenders of their own rights.
Beyond the creations of the two international winners, there will be also an exhibition of the best creations of winners at the national level.
