儿童司法包括儿童作为受害人、证人或涉嫌犯罪人,与司法系统及其他相关系统接触的全部情形。其中,儿童触法和儿童受害人、证人刑事司法程序是儿童司法的组成部分。2008年3月,《联合国儿童司法共同办法》对儿童司法的界定,包括了儿童参与司法系统的所有情形,无论基于何种原因,如受害人、证人、照看、监护和被控诉违法等。2008年9月联合国秘书长关于联合国儿童司法办法的指导性说明在重申 Child justice covers all situations in which children, as victims, witnesses or suspected perpetrators, have access to the justice system and other related systems. Among them, child molestation and child victims, witness criminal justice procedures are an integral part of child justice. In March 2008, the United Nations Children’s Common Law on Children’s Judgment defines the justice of children in all cases involving children’s participation in the justice system, for whatever reason such as victims, witnesses, caretakers, custodial and alleged offenses.
