Maladjusted Child

The article is an overview and a deep analysis of standards in international and Polish legislation regarding the protection of the rights of a socially maladjusted child. The analysis of the evolution of juvenile responsibility rules indicates a complete change over the last century, both in juvenile proceedings and in ensuring their rights at every stage of the judicial proceedings as well as during social rehabilitation process. The modernity and quality of currently applicable regulations of juvenile problems is evidenced by the separation of juvenile legislation and dealing with juvenile, which primarily means going beyond the legal and criminal field and giving the entire system of dealing with juvenile an educational and protective character , both as to the content (philosophy) and the essence of the means used.. The basing of dealing with juvenile on the idea of education and the specific manifest of juvenile rights in social rehabilitation contains many acts of international law – the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the United Nations documents from 1985 to 1990, the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile. Justice (“The Beijing Rules”), the United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (“The Riyadh Guidelines”), the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (“Havana Rules”) as well as European legal standards (Recommendations N. R (87)18, R(92)16 N. R(92)17 of the Committee of Ministers), as well as the Act of 26 October 1982 on proceedings in juvenile cases in force in Poland (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 1654, as amended).. The analysis and review of rights guaranteed to juvenile made in the article is consistent with the state of knowledge and the system of values that determine our contemporary identity – dignity of each person, dignity of each child, dignity of a socially maladjusted child.

The Impact

The 1989 Convention of the Rights of the Child, issued by the United Nations, provided a far more detailed and supposedly binding set of conditions and rights than the 1924 Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which would define childhood globally. And yet the dying and injustice and exploitation continue. “The century of the child and beyond” considers the impact of war and conflict on children; the creation of global agencies and organizations designed to provide aid to and advocate for children; health, poverty, and quality of life; child labor and slavery; changes and challenges in education; modern forms of families; and the globalization of children’s culture.

The Republic

Juvenile criminal law of the Republic of Srpska is a set of legal (and secondary) regulations governing the criminal justice status of juveniles as perpetrators of criminal acts and juveniles as victims, i.e. victims of crime. Certainly, it is a special part of the criminal law of the Republic of Srpska that, due to a number of specific solutions, has assumed the character of an independent legislative and scientific discipline in the Republic of Srpska, as in many modern European countries.The main source of juvenile criminal law in the Republic of Srpska that has primacy in the application against juvenile offenders is the Law on the protection and treatment of children and juveniles in criminal proceedings (passed by the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska in February 2010, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Srpska, number 13/2010; this law was amended at the end of 2013 - amendments to this law have been published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Srpska, number 61/2013).Certain legal standards set forth in a lot of international legal acts have a special role in the statutory formulation of this branch of the criminal law in all modern countries. The situation is similar in the Republic of Srpska where the international legal standards previously implemented by Bosnia and Herzegovina (and therefore also by the Republic of Srpska as a part of it) were the framework for the creation of the aforementioned legal texts and all bylaws regulating this very important field. In this paper, we will discuss one of the most important international legal documents - the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child.

Using the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) in Iran as an illustration, this article explores the continued resistance against girls’ rights in some Islamic countries. The gendered construction of childhood in Iran has resulted in a differential MACR, which for boys is notably higher than that recommended by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, yet for girls is unacceptably low. While breaches of girls’ rights in other areas are defended on the grounds of paternalistic concerns, it is argued that the MACR is a religious-politico decision that, in Iran, upholds the rights of boys but denies the rights of girls, propagating their wider subjugation.

AbstractThis publication is one of the outcomes of over a decade of work, under the auspices of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, to explore how to monitor and evaluate States Parties’ compliance with the obligations they undertook when they ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (the Convention). A full account of the project work to date has been provided in Vaghri, Krappmann, and Doek’s article ‘From the Indicators of General Comment No. 7 to GlobalChild’ (2019). Grounded in that foundational work, this book relies on that project work to provide a conceptual framing of the Convention, through the identification of the attributes of each right that provides the basis for the development of indicators against which to measure progress.
