The Action Plan adopted at the Warsaw Summit of the Council of Europe
(2005) launched the transversal Programme “Building Europe for and
with children”. This programme has been providing steady guidelines
to how standards for children can be improved. Activities of the
Directorate of standard-setting are carried out in close co-operation
with this Programme.
The 28th Conference of European Ministers of Justice, which
took place in Lanzarote in October 2007, paved a constructive way
forward with the adoption by the Ministers of Justice of Resolution No 2
on child-friendly justice. Further to this Resolution, the Committee of
Ministers entrusted the
European Committee on Legal Co-operation (CDCJ),
the
European Committee on Crime Problems (CDPC), the
Steering Committee
for Human Rights (CDDH) as well as the
European Commission for the
efficiency of justice (CEPEJ) in co-operation with other competent
bodies of the Council of Europe, with the task of preparing European
Guidelines on child-friendly justice.
