Series Five of A Collective Failure
Making immediate, tangible, and meaningful changes to ensure children accused of crimes in Somaliland are treated fairly and humanely is feasible, easy to implement, and costs nothing.
In a report issued this week, Making Legal Protections a Reality for Children Accused of Crimes, Horizon Institute details practical and cost-effective steps that can be taken without further delay to make sure the criminal justice system upholds these safeguards. This report speaks directly to those responsible for implementing these laws – police, prosecutors, and judges – and is informed by Horizon Institute’s experience of providing legal assistance to incarcerated children and their families.
This is the final installment in the five-part series, A Collective Failure: How Somaliland’s Criminal Justice System Harms Children and What We Can All Do About It. Somaliland’s children deserve a criminal justice system that treats them as children. We all, whether we are working in the government or are members of the public, can contribute to this goal.
