Study Notes
ECOSOC Resolution 2002/12: Basic Principles on the Use of Restorative Justice Programmes in Criminal Matters
- The Economic and Social Council recalls its resolutions 1999/26 and 2000/14, which requested the development of common principles on the use of restorative justice programmes in criminal matters.
- The Council takes into account existing international commitments with respect to victims, including the Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power.
Principles of Restorative Justice
- Restorative justice involves a dialogue between victims, offenders, and members of affected communities to address the harm caused by the crime.
- The parties should be informed about and have access to clear and effective grievance procedures, and may be given access to translation services or legal assistance.
- Restorative justice should only take place with the free and informed consent of all parties, and should not proceed with those who are not capable of understanding the process.
- Restorative justice services should be as inclusive as possible, with flexibility to enable as many people as possible to participate.
The Operation of Criminal Justice in Relation to Restorative Justice
- Before agreeing to restorative justice, the facilitator must fully inform the parties of their rights, the nature of the process, and the possible consequences of their decision to participate.
- Judicial authorities and criminal justice agencies should create the conditions, procedures, and infrastructure necessary to refer cases to restorative justice services whenever possible.
- Restorative justice services should be delivered by those who are sufficiently trained in facilitation.
Implementation and Development of Restorative Justice
- Judicial authorities, criminal justice and restorative justice agencies, and legal professionals should engage with local communities to inform them about the use of restorative justice and to include them in the process where possible.
- Probation services may use restorative justice alongside sentence planning to allow restorative justice agreements to be considered when determining supervision and assistance plans.
- Member States should co-operate and assist each other in their development of restorative justice, sharing information, policies, research, training, and innovative approaches.
- National and local governments, judicial authorities, and criminal justice and restorative justice agencies should undertake promotional activities to increase awareness of restorative justice among the general public.
Research and Evaluation
- Member States should promote, assist, and enable research on restorative justice, and facilitate the evaluation of any schemes or projects which they implement or fund.
- Restorative justice services should allow and assist in the independent evaluation of their service.
