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.

Comprehensive Guide to Pedophile Law and Child Sexual Abuse in Nepal

Comprehensive Guide to Pedophile Law and Child Sexual Abuse in Nepal

Nepal has strengthened its legal framework to combat pedophilia and child sexual abuse through the National Penal Code 2017 and Children’s Act 2018. The laws criminalize all forms of sexual contact with minors under 18, including grooming, exploitation, and child pornography, with severe penalties for offenders. The legislation also introduces child-friendly procedures to protect victims from secondary trauma. Despite legal progress, enforcement challenges persist, requiring enhanced training, public awareness, and institutional support. This article provides an in-depth overview of Nepal’s pedophile law, key legal elements, penalties, and ongoing reform efforts to safeguard children’s rights and welfare.
