The European Commission recommends restorative justice for the Member States as a robust alternative to judicial action in the area of child justice. 

The Kyoto Declaration issued by the UN Crime Congress calls for the facilitation of restorative justice processes.

The European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) and Terre des hommes (TdH) call the European Commission to support the implementation of child-friendly restorative justice.

The EFRJ contributed to the report by submitting  feedback, and we welcome that the final versison recognises restorative justice as instrument to help victims. 

The European Commission published its Report on the implementation of the Victim’s Rights Directive (2012/29/EU) in the Member States,. The document is a cornerstone of the EU victims’ rights policy and it is also the first binding EU legislation on restorative justice. 

On 6 November, our policy officer, Laura Hein attended the High Level Experts’ meeting: What future for victims’ right? organised by the European Commission and the Finnish Presidency.
