International and National Standards for Establishing Child-friendly Justice

Abstract

This article aims to identify the most important international standards established by the international community for the criminal protection of the child. These standards have become the main reference for establishing child-friendly and restorative justice, regardless of the child’s legal status. The article also examines the extent to which the Algerian legislator respects these standards through its domestic legislation, particularly after the introduction of Law No. (15/12) relating to child protection.
