First World Congress on Restorative Juvenile Justice at the Catholic University of Lima (Peru)

In consideration of the participative and inter-disciplinary nature of Restorative Juvenile Justice, this congress, the first event organized on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Terre des hommes Foundation, is open to anybody who wants to contribute to the debate: lawyers, judges, prosecutors, psychologists, police officers, psychoanalysts, social workers, educators, journalists, civil servants, authorities and anybody from the academic world , etc.

The purpose of this Congress is to promote Restorative Juvenile Justice (RJJ) as a new and promising model, encouraging alternative measures (socio-educational) over deprivation of liberty, and taking into account the different cultural and legal contexts. It will be a chance to exchange experiences, lessons learned and good practices, as well as working out guidelines for an RJJ which cares about children and is suited to practical experience and international standards. It will enable justice for minors to become a key-element in global policies for Human Rights in every State.
