Abstract
The Utrecht Law Review is an open-access peer-reviewed journal which aims to offer an international academic platform for cross-border legal research. In the first place, this concerns research in which the boundaries of the classic branches of the law (private law, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, European and public international law) are crossed and connections are made between these areas of the law, amongst others from a comparative law perspective. In addition, the journal welcomes research in which classic law is brought face to face with not strictly legal disciplines such as philosophy, economics, political sciences and public administration science.The journal was established in 2005 and is affiliated to the Utrecht University School of Law.

Highlights
For some time, judicial authorities struggle with child victims and witnesses as actors in criminal proceedings
We focus on the position of the child victim and witness[12] in criminal proceedings: the child victim and witness that needs to be protected, the child as a vital source of information to the judicial authorities and the child as a person under the age of eighteen who has the right to participate (Article 1 in conjunction with 12 CRC).[13]
Neither the European Framework Decision nor the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) addresses the issue of child victim and witness participation directly, it can be argued that the protective measures they allow, aim at making participation of children in criminal proceedings possible
Summary
