European
Ministers call for child
friendly justice
On 26
October, the ministers of
Justice of the 47 member
states invited the Council
of Europe to prepare
''European guidelines for
child friendly justice''. In
a resolution adopted at the
close of the 28th Conference
of European Ministers of
Justice in
Lanzarote, ministers
recommended that children
should be better informed of
their rights and understand
better how to access
justice, including the
European Court of Human
Rights. The ministers also
proposed the examination of
ways in which children’s
views can be taken into
account during judicial
proceedings.
