The International Bureau for Children’s Rights is currently organising two events in the coming weeks. Do you want to get involved? We have a varied programme that will certainly please you!
Forum on Child Participation in the Justice Process
For several years, the Office has been committed to the issue of child participation, which is one of the pillars of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Practices in this area within the Quebec and Canadian justice system are constantly evolving. To keep up to date on challenges, advances and promising practices, the IBCR is organising a forum on the participation of children in the justice process. This free one-day forum will be moderated by eight experts in the field who will each present 20-minute lectures. Some will address the main existing legislative, jurisprudential and practice-based challenges, while others will share promising advances in child participation.
You will have the chance to interact with experts who are committed to the rights of the child, especially in the judicial process.
Places are limited! Registration required via Eventbrite.
