Violence is a serious social
concern and on the increase. ·
There is a growing dissatisfaction with the
Criminal Justice System that stems from: ð The State?s
ownership over criminal disputes. ð The
ineffectiveness of punishment, rehabilitation and compensation in the current
criminal justice system. ·
Restorative Justice is an alternative and/or
addition to the existing Criminal Justice System, already applied in about 80
States over the last 30 years with evident success; including pilot projects
within the juvenile justice system in ·
There is a pressing need for: ð Research and application of alternative and
complementary modes to the existing criminal justice system, such as
Restorative Justice. ð Promotion of
public, academic and intra/ inter- institutional debate on this subject. ·
Obviously as with any other significant change attempt, there is controversy and
resistance to change, that needs to be addressed. ·
The main characteristics of Restorative justice
are: Ö
Reclaiming the conflict back to the parties
involved: the victims, the secondary victims, the offenders, the family and the
community. Ö
Focusing on the relationships between the parties
involved, with an orientation to the future.
Ö
Empowering and fomenting grassroots involvement and
democratic behaviour. ·
The International conference will take place at ·
The goal is to learn from
experience from around the world and search for modes to overcome the obstacles
encountered. ·
Active participation of victim support
advocates, academics and members of public institutions in our conference would
greatly contribute to the joint effort in promoting the wellbeing of our
communities. This would also alter cycles of violence and suffering, while
increasing democratic values and discourse. ==============================================
