The HELP course on Child-Friendly Justice was launched at the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA). The event was held on the International Human Rights Day and was dedicated to the Protection of Rights and Interests of the Child in Judicial Proceedings. The topic has raised an interesting professional discussion about national and international practices on child-friendly Justice with special attention to 30 years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child celebrated in 2019.
The first part of the event was organised in a form of a thematic Conference opened by RANEPA rector Mau and attracted more than 140 participants including representatives of General Prosecutor Office of the Russian Federation, Investigative Committee, Child-Care Authorities, Attorneys at Law, Association of Lawyers of Russia and broad academic audience. Following the Conference, a group of 30 participants participated in the launch of the HELP course Child-Friendly Justice and its Russian version. Natalia Kravchuk, co-author of the model of this course and certified HELP trainer will tutor the group until the end of February 2020.
