About this statute

Preamble and introductory heading for Kosovo’s Juvenile Justice Code. This provision says the Code regulates how measures and penalties are imposed and enforced against minors, as well as court procedure and mediation for minors. This article defines key terms used in the code, including child, minor, young minor, older minor, young adult, adult, specialized education, juvenile imprisonment, special care institution, guardianship authority, juvenile judge, juvenile prosecutor, juvenile panel, and probation service. The provision sets principles for juvenile justice: responses to minors must be proportionate, detention is a last resort and as short as possible, and detained minors have specific rights to humane treatment, family contact, legal help, review, privacy, and not being publicly identified. This article says the Code applies to suspected offenders for offences committed as minors, regardless of their age when proceedings start, and also to suspected offenders for offences committed as young adults. It also says Articles 44 and 48 do not apply when an adult is charged for an offence committed as a minor.
