A guide to the Law for Young People in Care

International Juvenile Justice Observatory
The International Juvenile Justice Observatory, with its headquarters in Brussels, was founded in 2003 with the goal of encouraging a global juvenile justice without borders, and since then it has been gradually taking shape around different distinguishing features.
The Ministry of Justice
Our work spans criminal, civil and family justice, democracy and rights. The Ministry of Justice works to protect the public and reduce reoffending, and to provide a more effective, transparent and responsive criminal justice system for victims and the public. We also provide fair and simple routes to civil and family justice. The Ministry of Justice has responsibility for different parts of the justice system – the courts, prisons, probation services and attendance centres. We work in partnership with the other government departments and agencies to reform the criminal justice system, to serve the public and support the victims of crime. We are also responsible for making new laws, strengthening democracy, and safeguarding human rights.
