CRC/C/DZA/CO/3-4 (b) To train law-enforcement officials and establish capacity to identify victims of trafficking among illegal migrants; (c) To ensure that child victims of trafficking are offered necessary assistance, including legal aid, shelter, medical and psychological assistance and rehabilitation services and are not punished for unlawful acts committed as a direct result of being trafficked; and (d) To undertake a campaign to increase public awareness of trafficking, including on the differences between human smuggling and trafficking. Helpline 79. The Committee notes the existence of a helpline for children managed by a network of civil society organizations. The Committee is however concerned that limited support has been provided by the State party for an effective functioning of such a helpline. 80. The Committee urges the State party to provide financial and technical support to this helpline in order to maintain it and ensure that it provides 24-hour services throughout the State party. The Committee also urges the State party to promote awareness on how children can access the helpline. Administration of juvenile justice 81. The Committee notes as positive the measures taken by the State party to improve its juvenile justice system, in particular the training organized for juvenile judges on the right of the child. The Committee is however concerned that: (a) The State party’s juvenile justice system remains mostly punitive as reflected notably by the possibility of sentencing a child as young as 13 years old to prison from 10 to 20 years; (b) Children are subjected to long periods of pretrial detention; (c) The use of restorative measures (mediation, community services orders, and other alternatives to detention) is rare and that detention is in most of the cases the first option; and (d) Children aged 16 may be detained in the context of counter-terrorism efforts and that children detained are not always separated from adults as observed by the Committee against Torture (CAT/C/DZA/CO/3, para. 7). 82. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to build a system of restorative and rehabilitative juvenile justice fully in line with the Convention, in particular articles 37, 39 and 40, and with other relevant standards, including the Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules), the Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (the Riyadh Guidelines), the Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (the Havana Rules), the Vienna Guidelines for Action on Children in the Criminal Justice System; and the Committee’s general comment No. 10 (2007) on the rights of the child in juvenile justice (CRC/C/GC/10). In particular, the Committee urges the State party: (a) To ensure that detention, including pre-trial detention is used as a measure of last resort and for the shortest possible period of time, even in case of very severe crimes and that it is reviewed on a regular basis with a view to withdrawing it; (b) To promote alternative measures to detention, such as diversion, probation, counseling, community service or suspended sentences, wherever possible; 20
