The latest Article 40 is now available
This is the first issue of Article 40
for 2007. Prof. Julia Sloth-Nielsen (Research Fellow, Children's Rights
Project) discusses in depth the release of the United Nations Committee
on the Rights of the Child's General Comment No. 10 on Children's
Rights in Juvenile Justice. This document sets out a guiding
framework for States on how to implement and comply with the
obligations contained in Article 37 and Article 40 of the Convention on
the Rights of the Child. This document highlights the need for a
separate justice system for children.
Find out more about this general comment, as well as diversion in
Uganda, children's rights and the Convention against Torture and
alternative sentencing in Pinetown.
