Defence for Children International Beijing Rules Use of the rules
The Rules should be applied to juvenile offenders impartially, without distinction of any kind, for example, as to race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinions, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Each state should establish legislative provisions specifically applicable to juvenile offenders and institutions entrusted with juvenile justice. These provisions should be designed to meet the needs of juvenile offenders whilst protecting their basic rights and meeting the needs of society. The Beijing Rules should be implemented thoroughly and fairly within these provisions.
