Selected Decisions on Human Rights IV – Judgements of the European Court of Human Rights Regarding Minors
Eight judgments of the Court relating to minors were selected for this publication. The European Convention on Human Rights does not contain provisions related exclusively to minors, but it does contain several provisions which regulate rights guaranteed to minors (articles 5, 6 and 8). This publication contributes to improvement of international standards understanding, as well as securing the best possible protection of minors in criminal proceedings – whether they are involved in these as victims or as the accused, while they serve their sentence, or while they are subject to temporary measures of guardianship and surveillance. Since as of 2006, the Republic of Serbia is applying a new Juvenile Justice Act, relevant judgment selection will contribute to development of good practices.
