Child -friendly court guidelines for personal status courts in Lebanon

These guidelines are the result of technical exchanges carried out by Terre des hommes in collaboration with Lebanese personal status judges and pilot consultations with judges, staff of religious courts of personal status and litigants, started on 2017. They aim to promote and strengthen child-friendly justice approaches for minors involved in family law proceedings. The paper highlights practices and behaviors that should be followed by actors involved in order to ensure and foster child-friendly justice dynamics in both non-adversarial and adversarial cases.
