Defence for Children International Beijing Rules Provision of needed assistance and mobilisation of volunteers and other community services
The Rules steps the importance of rehabilitation of the juvenile. To that end they require necessary assistance in the form of education, employment or accommodation to be given to the juvenile during the proceedings an call upon volunteers, voluntary organisations, local institutions and other community resources to assist in that process. This notion of rehabilitation has subsequently been replaced with the more recent concept of non-institutional re-integration of the juvenile into society to fulfil a constructive role, in both the JDL Rules and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. |
