With the recent resolution A/RES/69/194 by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 18 December 2014, the international community has recognized the pressing need to address the issue of violence against children and, with the substantive support of UNODC, adopted the United Nations Model Strategies and Practical Measures on the Elimination of Violence against Children in the Field of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (“Model Strategies”). This new set of United Nations standards and norms dedicates its third part exclusively to the prevention of and responses to violence against children who are in conflict with the law and will be the benchmark for the first day of the training event which aims to build the capacity of juvenile justice professionals on strategies and measures aimed to prevent and respond to violence against children in conflict with the law.
