Minister Hoxha: Draft Juvenile Justice Code extends the guaranteeing principles on children’s rights

Some of the most important issues of the Draft Juvenile Justice Code include: increasing the number of principles guaranteeing and protecting children's rights and a separate chapter which defines the assistance and protection measures for children under the age of 14 who under the criminal liability are considered offenders, said Minister Hoxha in the presentation dedicated to this draft law.

The Draft has been finalized in coordination and cooperation with relevant national and international stakeholders, particularly with the support of UNICEF, the European Union Office in Kosovo and it is in full compliance with the provisions of EU legislation. Also, the financial assessment has been completed.
