São Paulo – The Higher Institute of Libya and The United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) started a programme to train judges, prosecutors and other professionals in the area for development of a juvenile justice system in the country. They also established a consultancy company to elaborate a juvenile law, according to information disclosed on the United Nations (UN) site. The idea is to grant the Arab country a system following international standards and providing adequate protection for children and adolescents.<\/p>\n
"Children in contact with the law must receive different treatment from adults within the process, ranging from the initial contact, detaining and liberation,” said the UNICEF director in Libya, Carel de Rooy, in a press statement. The training began on April 7th with workshop on “Realising the greatest interests of children through judicial decisions”, for judges. On the 21st, 25 prosecutors were trained on theme “The part of the Prosecution in the defence of children’s rights”.<\/p>\n
A recent mapping shows that Libya already has positive laws and policies in the area, like the ban of capital punishment for youths under 18, prohibition of weddings between people under the age of 20 and the illegality of physical punishment at school.<\/p>\n
