The report also demonstrates that serious gaps hinder the establishment of fully compliant systems in each of the countries. None of the five countries has a specialised juvenile justice system as of yet. Prevention and reintegration policies and programmes are almost non-existent and the social sector is only rarely involved. Children can spent long periods in detention, especially pre-trial, for petty offenses. The report also points out to violence in detention, sometimes amounting to torture, and to the weakness of monitoring and accountability mechanisms across the region. It concludes with some recommendations, including one on the importance to reinforce independent mechanisms for monitoring the rights of children in the context of juvenile justice in Central Asia.
