Juvenile Justice System in Nepal: Rights, Principles, and Legal Process

Juvenile Justice System in Nepal: Rights, Principles, and Legal Process

The juvenile justice system in Nepal ensures that minors in conflict with the law are treated with dignity, fairness, and a focus on rehabilitation. Guided by the Children Act, 2075, the system upholds fundamental principles like presumption of innocence, best interest, right to be heard, and right to privacy. Unlike adult justice, it avoids punitive approaches and prioritizes reintegration and protection of children’s rights. Through restorative practices, non-stigmatizing procedures, and child-friendly hearings, Nepal aims to give juveniles a fresh start while balancing accountability. This article explores the full legal framework, procedures, and safeguards of juvenile justice in Nepal.
