Abstract
The goal and primary concern of national and international organisations should be guaranteeing a secure and compassionate juvenile justice system for this young and minor population. The juvenile justice system requires rights in the areas of legal representation, a fair trial, the right to be heard, and access to healthcare, education, and rehabilitation, among other rights. On the other hand, Human rights are the essential, inalienable rights that every person possesses and are safeguarded by both domestic and international organizations and agreements. The first significant international statement establishing the notion of human rights and outlining its components in terms of economic, civil, political, cultural, social, and other rights is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Juvenile rights are included under human rights in other documents such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and specifically in United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty. The authors made an effort to elucidate the connection between human rights and juvenile justice. This paper will explain the essential juvenile rights and the challenges in the path of juvenile justice. This paper will provide vital suggestions for the policymakers and interested parties of the theme.
