The objectives óf 'Youth Justice in Action - A voice for young people in conflict with the law' are:-To build young people's awareness of youth justice issues and their rights in relation to these at both a national and international level-To develop young people's skills in advocacy and campaigning8 To develop young people's awareness of the United Nations and ways in which they can influence such international structures-To improve the condition and prospects for young people in conflict with the lawYoung people will lead on research, awareness raising and campaigning on the rights of young people in conflict with the law in their own countries and then come together to lobby the UN Human Rights Council.Each partner will hold a youth-led event to raise awareness of the rights of young people in conflict with the law, with special reference to a new UN Resolution, HRC/10/L.15. They will then be supported to conduct youth-led action research that will look at their country's national implementation of UN Resolution HRC/10/L.15 and other international juvenile justice standards and develop campaigning actions to follow up on their findings.To build on this national level activity, in March 2010, two young people from each of the partner countries will attend a four-day training programme in Geneva to explore the UN system and in particular the role of the UN Human Rights Council, focussing on how young people can engage and influence its' delegates and procedures. Following the training, the young campaigners will develop a campaign strategy for the 13 Human Rights Council session and spend eight days lobbying decision makers.Following the Human Rights Council lobbying, the young campaigners will return to their countries and lead on a national event with young people to continue their national campaigns and raise awareness of what has been achieved at the Council. The young people in each campaign country will then be supported to carry out campaigning actions with local and national governments on the full implementation of international law with regard to juvenile justice and awareness raising activities in their local communities about youth justice issues and young people's rights.National campaigns will take place in communities in Ireland, Honduras, Sierra Leone, South Africa and the United Kingdom. In March 2010, the venue of the project will be the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva500 young people will be involved in national level campaign, with 10 directly involved in lobbying the UN.
