Access to justice
Today, nearly 1.5 million children are deprived of their freedom around the world.
However, the deprivation of liberty of minors is strictly regulated by the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, which limits it to a remedy of last resort and ” for the shortest appropriate period of time “. The problem is that imprisonment is the easy solution for many states, which for various reasons do not necessarily look for alternative means. Indeed, if imprisonment is only the last resort, states must have provided in their national laws for a variety of alternative measures applicable to the particular situation of children.
