Secretariat of the Interagency Panel on Juvenile Justice (IPJJ) presents the new IPJJ joint briefing paper on "The right of children deprived of their liberty to make complaints" developed in collaboration with Penal Reform International (PRI).
This IPJJ-PRI paper reaffirms that children deprived of their liberty have the right to complain about their conditions, treatment and care through mechanisms that are safe, child-sensitive, effective and easily accessible. It highlights what the right to complain involves and requires, covering both informal and formal complaint mechanisms. It shows that the accessibility, safety and effectiveness of complaint procedures are key for ensuring that children have a voice in detention.
The newsletter’s special focus reports on the International School for Juvenile Justice (ISJJ), which is a training and research space on an international level whose priority purposes are to reinforce the generation and dissemination of knowledge and the development of training actions in the various fields related to juvenile justice.
