AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS AND JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper is based on research of Ph.D. on topic “A Critical and Comprehensive Study of
Children Under Juvenile Justice Act” in which researcher has been covered the some topics such
as Social Justice, Juvenile Justice System, United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
(UNCRC), Beijing Rules for minimum standard programs of children etc. As per the UNCRC
Child Rights are minimum standard programs and opportunities, freedom of the universal child
that ought to be stood to all children underneath the age of 18 years little mind to race, color, sex,
orientation, language, religion, notions, beliefs, wealth, birth status or capacity and along these
lines apply to all forms all over the world. The UN finds these rights associated and unbreakable,
implying that a privilege cannot be satisfied to the detriment of another privilege. The reason for
the UNCRC is to plan the fundamental human rights that ought to be stood to youngsters. There
are four wide characterizations of these rights. These four classes cover all considerate, political,
social, financial and social privileges of each child.
The great poet Milton put it admirably when he said: "Child shows the man as morning
shows the day" and the Study Team on Social Welfare said much to the same effect when it
observed that "the physical and mental health of the nation is determined largely by the manner
in which it is shaped in the early stages". The child is a soul with a being, a nature and capacities
of its own, who must be helped to find them, to grow into their maturity, into fullness of physical
and vital energy and the utmost breadth, depth and height of its emotional, intellectual and
spiritual being; otherwise there cannot be a healthy growth of the nation. Now obviously children
need special protection because of their tender age and physique mental immaturity and
incapacity to look-after themselves.
