PRAVO NA OBRAZOVANJE U KONTEKSTU IZVRŠENJA KRIVIČNIH SANKCIJA ZA MALOLETNIKE
THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION AND CRIMINAL SANCTIONS FOR MINORS

Summary/Abstract: Modern scientific trends and relevant international documents emphasize the principle of the best interests of the child in all situations involving minors, including cases of application of criminal sanctions towards minors. The best interest of the child is inextricably linked to the full development of personal potential, which is inconceivable without education and the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Therefore, it is not surprising that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the Beijing and Havana Rules, devote significant attention to the right to education. It should be kept in mind that minors as perpetrators of criminal offenses must enjoy the right to upbringing and education of the same quality as their peers who had no contact with the criminal justice system. The above sets extremely complex tasks before the system of execution of criminal sanctions for minors. Therefore, the paper is devoted to the analysis of relevant international documents, and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights in the field of respect for human rights in the context of the execution of juvenile criminal sanctions. The aim of the paper is to summarize the dominant values and principles and thereby support their full implementation in practice
