International Practical Guide: Lawyers Defending Children in Conflict with the Law

This Guide aims to provide lawyers representing children with practical information and tools relating to their role, their mission and the training required in order to enable them to ensure an effective right to defence for the children to whom they provide assistance. This Guide aims to go beyond the European criteria since it is based on the principles derived from international instruments and standards aimed at ensuring legal guarantees for children in conflict with the law. Thus, it is intended for lawyers defending children all over the world.
