Art. 3. In the same Act, a preliminary title is inserted, as follows:
"Preliminary Title: Principles of the Administration of Juvenile Justice
The following principles are recognized and applicable to the administration of juvenile justice:
1° Prevention of crime is essential to protect society in the long term and requires that the competent authorities address the underlying causes of juvenile delinquency and develop a multidisciplinary framework of action;
2° Every act of administration of juvenile justice is, to the extent possible, provided by interveners, officials and magistrates who have received specific and ongoing training in the field of youth law;
3° the administration of juvenile justice pursues the objectives of education, accountability and social reintegration as well as the protection of society;
4° Minors cannot, in any case, be assimilated to the majors as to their degree of responsibility and the consequences of their acts. However, minors who have committed a crime must be made aware of the consequences of their acts;
5° Minors shall enjoy within the framework of this Act, as a matter of fact, rights and freedoms, including those set out in the Constitution and the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, including the right to be heard during the process leading to decisions affecting them and to take part in this process, such rights and freedoms must be accompanied by special guarantees:
(a) young people have the right, whenever the law is likely to infringe upon some of their rights and freedoms, to be informed of the content of these rights and freedoms;
(b) the father and mother are responsible for the maintenance, education and supervision of their children. Therefore, young people may only be wholly or partially subtracted from parental authority in cases where measures to maintain parental authority are counter-indicated;
(c) The situation of minors who have committed a crime requires supervision, education, discipline and supervision. However, the state of dependency in which they are located, their degree of development and maturity create in their leader special needs that require listening, advice and assistance;
(d) any intervention involving an educational measure is intended to encourage the youth to integrate social standards;
(e) in the context of the care of minors who have committed a crime, it is used, where possible, to the measures, as provided for by law, as a substitute for judicial proceedings, while paying attention to the imperative of social protection;
(f) within the framework of the law, the right of young people to freedom can only suffer from a minimum of intrusions ordered by the protection of society, taking into account the needs of young people, the interests of their families and the rights of victims. »
Art. 4. Section 10 of the Act, repealed by the Act of 10 October 1967, is reinstated as follows:
“Art. 10. - Any decision, whether it is a provisional measure or a measure on the merits, taken by the youth judge or the youth court, in the first instance or in the level of appeal, is, by the clerk's care, transmitted on the very day of the decision by simple copy to the minor's lawyer."
Art. 5. An article 29bis, as follows, is inserted in the same law:
"Art. 29bis. - Where persons who exercise parental authority over a convicted minor for a qualified offence demonstrate a disinterest in the delinquency of the minor and the disinterest of those persons contributes to the problems of the minor, the court may, upon requisition of the public or ex officio ministry, order them to perform a parental internship.

1° There are serious evidence of guilt;

The King's prosecutor's decision to direct a case to the mediation procedure must be written and motivated unless he wishes to file the case without further action.

The agreement reached by the persons involved in mediation is signed by the person who is presumed to have committed an offence, by the persons who exercise parental authority in respect of him, as well as by the victim, and must be approved by the Crown Prosecutor. The content cannot be changed. He can only refuse to approve an agreement if it is contrary to public order.
§ 3. The mediation department prepares a report on the execution of the agreement and the address to the King's Prosecutor. This report is attached to the case file.
When the perpetrator of the offence has executed the mediation agreement in accordance with the prescribed terms, the King's Prosecutor shall prepare a report and take it into account when deciding whether or not to file the case without further action. In this case, a ranking without a suite has the effect of extinction of public action.
A copy of the report is provided to the perpetrator of the offence, to persons who exercise parental authority in respect of the person, to the victim and to the mediation service. In the event that this surrender could not take place, the copy of the report is notified by judicial fold.
§ 4. If mediation does not give any result, or the recognition of the materiality of the facts by the young person, or the conduct or outcome of the mediation cannot be used, by the judicial authorities or any other person, to the prejudice of the young person.
The established documents and communications made in connection with an intervention by the mediation service are confidential, with the exception of what the parties agree to bring to the attention of the judicial authorities.
