CRC/C/KIR/CO/1 page 13 Committee is concerned that there is no systematic, comprehensive strategy to provide these children with adequate assistance. 63. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Undertake a study on the causes and scope of the situation of street children in Kiribati and develop a strategy with the aim of preventing and reducing this occurrence and protecting children; (b) Ensure that street children are provided with adequate nutrition, clothing, housing, health care and educational opportunities, including vocational and life-skills training, to support their full development; and (c) Ensure that these children are provided with rehabilitative and reintegration services, including psychosocial assistance for physical, sexual and substance abuse, as well as, where possible and when in the best interests of the child, services for reconciliation with their families. Administration of juvenile justice 64. The Committee is concerned that there is no specific legislation on juvenile justice. It is also concerned at the serious practical shortcomings of the juvenile justice system and the inconsistencies that exist between various domestic laws and regulations. The Committee is further concerned that persons between 16 and 18 years of age are detained with adults. The lack of adequate alternatives for pre-trial and other forms of detention and of guarantees for due process, and the poor living conditions faced by children detained in police stations or prisons are also issues of concern. 65. The Committee urges the State party to ensure the full implementation of juvenile justice standards, in particular articles 37, 40 and 39 of the Convention and other relevant international standards in this area, such as the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules), the United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (the Riyadh Guidelines) and the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of Their Liberty (the Havana Rules), taking into account the recommendations adopted by the Committee on its day of general discussion on juvenile justice held on 13 November 1995 (CRC/C/46, paras. 203-238). In particular, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Developing specific and appropriate legislation on juvenile justice; (b) Ensure that due process is guaranteed, including the hearing by a judge before deprivation of liberty is carried out; (c) Develop and implement alternatives to pre-trial and other forms of detention in order to ensure that deprivation of liberty is really a measure of last resort for the shortest time possible, and when detained, ensure that persons under 18 are not detained with adults;
