"It is welcome that legislators and other parties involved in law making place increasingly strong emphasis on taking children’s rights into account when drafting laws in the field of justice and, in particular, when laying down the minimum norms applicable in criminal proceedings. As Commissioner Reding herself pointed out, children in criminal trials, whether involved as the accused or as the victim, have special needs that must be given high priority in order to preserve their physical and psychological integrity. Child victims are exposed to a much higher degree of suffering than adults. I therefore welcome the fact that the legislation on the right to information was enacted by taking all these aspects into account, and I hope that this approach will prevail during the drafting of the directive on the right of access to lawyers as well. I would specifically like to highlight Hungary’s efforts and dedication in respect of the broad application and reinforcement of children’s rights, which also extend to the field of justice. Concrete steps in this regard include the creation of an Internet portal entitled ‘Child-Friendly Justice,’ and the declaration of 2012 as the year of child-friendly justice."@en1
