Back The journey of the Council of Europe child-friendly justice

Intervention of the Council of Europe Coordinator for the Rights of the Child at the final event of the Child-Friendly Justice - In Action Project
The journey of the Council of Europe child-friendly justice

On 2 December 2020, Ms Regína Jensdóttir, the Council of Europe Coordinator on Children’s Rights, delivered a keynote speech at the Final event of the Child-Friendly Justice – In Action Project on promoting child-friendly justice for child migrants in the EU. She presented the Council of Europe’s comprehensive standards and extensive work carried out on delivering child-friendly justice. During her intervention Ms Jensdóttir noted that despite all the progress achieved, the reality was, however, that children in Europe continued to face difficulties in accessing justice. Children need justice systems that take account of their particular needs. Through the measures already implemented, and many more to come, the Council of Europe aims to make accessible, empowering and child-friendly justice a reality across the board. Hence, child-friendly justice will remain to be a high priority in the Organisation’s upcoming Strategy for the Rights of the Child (2022-2027).
