❌ Too often, children’s voices are overlooked in legal proceedings that affect them, and their rights are not fully realized.

📢 That’s why the ICJ has published a new Compendium: Ensuring the child’s right to be heard and to participate in legal proceedings: Strategies and good practices.

🔍 Inside, you will find relevant international standards, including: access to legal assistance, legal aid, information, interpretation, communication support, guardianship, fair hearings, and remedies.

💡 This Compendium is a practical resource that compiles strategies and good practices to support professionals, policymakers, and civil society in ensuring the child’s right to be heard and to participate in legal proceedings.
