Terre des hommes and Child Protection Hub for South East Europe invite you to join the webinar on procedural rights of juveniles suspected or accused in criminal proceedings in the EU.

A gyermekek különböző akadályokkal szembesülnek, miközben büntetőeljárás alá vonták őket, és abban érdekeiket szeretnék érvényesíteni és jogaik tiszteletben tartását próbálják elérni. Ilyen nehézség például a cselekvőképességük korlátozottsága vagy hiánya, de a gyermekkorból eredő sajátos védelem igénye is. A nyomozati szakban és később a bíróság előtti eljárás során is sebezhetőségüket tovább fokozza a társadalmi helyzetük, a család hiánya, a kulturális másság, a nyelvi akadályok, stb. és az állampolgárság kérdése - azaz a külföldi állampolgárság vagy a marginalizált kisebbségi csoporthoz tartozás. Ha a gyanúsított vagy vádlott gyermek külföldi, az eljárási garanciák, amelyeket biztosítani kell a külföldi fiatalkorú terheltek számára, valójában további kihívások elé állítják a nemzeti igazságszolgáltatási rendszereket.

Terre des hommes Hungary, together with its partners from Belgium, France, Spain and the Netherlands, is organizing the final conference of the regional project ‘Procedural Rights of Juveniles Suspected or Accused in Criminal Proceedings in the EU’ on 23-24 February 2017 in Brussels.

The Handbook for Legal Practitioners has been developed as part of the the regional project "Procedural Rights of Juveniles Suspected or Accused in the European Union". The handbook is intended to help criminal justice practitioners ensure that cases involving foreign child suspects are dealt with in accordance with European legislation. It is envisaged that this handbook may be used for a variety of advocacy, awarenessraising and educational purposes and may be useful to the cross-section of professionals involved in criminal justice including lawyers, prosecutors, judges, police, interpreters and NGOs.

The Regional Comparative Report has been developed as part of the 'Procedural Rights of Juveniles Suspected or Accused in the European Union’ (PRO-JUS) project. It constitutes an analysis of the research findings from the national reports developed within the project.

This report has been developed within the framework of “Procedural Rights of Juveniles Suspected or Accused in the EU (PRO-JUS)”, a regional project implemented in 5 EU Member States (Belgium, France, Hungary, Spain and The Netherlands) under the coordination of the Terre des hommes Regional Office for Central and South East Europe based in Hungary in partnership with Defence for Children International (Belgium), Hors La Rue (France), Rights International Spain and Defence for Children International (The Netherlands).

The objective of the project is to develop and deliver capacity-development for multidisciplinary professionals around child-friendly practices in the area of diversion - based on empirical evidence in four countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary and Romania. The project will be implemented with the participation of experiential young people who will provide input and feedback on all elements of the project, based on their own views and experiences in the justice system. A public awareness campaign will also be launched in order to sensitise the public about the advantages of alternatives to detention.
