Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author deals with the basic theoretical assumptions and discussions on the practical use of restorative justice. She discusses the prospects of introducing and applying restorative justice in order to reach the balance of interests between a victim, the society and a delinquent. There is no unique standpoint of the concept of restorative justice, and many authors define this concept by listing certain activities with respect of standards and principles. The experiences of different countries which apply the restorative justice process are invaluable. The author provides examples of some experiences and doubts regarding the restorative justice process in the American judicial system, emphasizing the values of the restorative justice process. A part of the article is dedicated to the standards for the application of restorative justice and the compliance of those standards with the international documents on human rights.
