Criminal Law and the Rights of the Child – London
| November 30, 2010 |
The British Institute of International and Comparative Law presents Criminal Law and the Rights of the Child Nov. 30, 2010.
Despite having ratified various relevant instruments pertaining to the protection of the rights of children in criminal matters and despite national efforts of promulgation of various legislations, several states are either unable or still reluctant to generate the required political will and legal measures in offering adequate protection for children. As a result, many children across the world are currently found in circumstances which are incompatible with the international conventions.This one day colloquium will bring together experts from a range of Muslim and non-Muslim states in order to share their research and experiences with regard to the rights of the child in criminal processes. Discussions among participants will highlight the successes and potential lacunas in various jurisdictions applicable to juvenile offenders. Each session will conclude with a question and discussion period at the end.
This event will take place during the final stage of a study on the topic undertaken by the British Institute of International and Comparative Law.
