Описание: Directive 2016/800 on procedural safeguards for children who are suspects or accused persons in criminal proceedings (the “Children Directive”), adopted in 2016, is designed to reaffirm key principles underpinning juvenile justice and the rights of child suspects and accused in a binding legal instrument which practitioners across the EU can refer to more easily. This day-and-a-half training combines presentations and keynotes on EU procedural rights and ECtHR and CJEU case-law. Due to their age and lack of maturity, special measures need to be taken to ensure that children can effectively participate in criminal proceedings and benefit from their fair trial rights to the same extent as other suspects on accused persons. In this context, enhanced knowledge and understanding of the Children’s Directive is of great interest for justice professionals. The training will give a forensic perspective on age estimation of unaccompanied minors in the EU.
Обучителни цели: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: -Learn about the key principles and application of the Children’s Directive and ECJ case law. -Gain insights into the practical implementation of the Directive, together with responsibilities and remedies. -Based on case scenarios, participants will be able to discuss key issues, such as the scope of juvenile justice: age determination, right to legal assistance, protection of privacy and confidentiality, arrest and police interrogation. -Gain a better understanding of the current situation and challenges linked to unaccompanied minors in EU Member States.
