Administration of juvenile justice 76. The Committee welcomes the recent amendment to the Act Instituting the Juvenile and Family Courts and the Juvenile and Family Procedures of 1991 that entered into force in February 2005, which stipulates that procedures for Juvenile and Family Courts must be applied in all Criminal Courts in provinces where such Courts do not exist. It notes the recent Ministerial regulation prohibiting corporal punishment in penal institutions. The Committee also welcomes the use of shelter houses, as well as diversion programmes for juvenile offenders and the Family Group Conferencing programme, which promote the concept of restorative justice.

It also reiterates its concern at the low minimum age of criminal responsibility (7 years). 77. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation and urges the State party to ensure that its legislation and practice concerning juvenile justice is in full compliance with the provisions of the Convention, in particular articles 37, 39 and 40 as well as other relevant international standards in this area such as the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (The Beijing Rules) (General Assembly resolution 40/33), the United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (The Riyadh Guidelines) (General Assembly resolution 45/112), the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (General Assembly resolution 45/113) and the Guidelines for Action on Children in the Criminal Justice System (annexed to Economic and Social Council resolution 1997/30 of 21 July 1997). In this regard, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Amend the relevant provisions of its Penal Code to increase the minimum age of criminal responsibility to an internationally acceptable standard;
