Abstract

The aim of the chapter is twofold. The first aim is to introduce a method of analysis for interdisciplinary child rights justice systems which offers a systematic approach to qualifying, understanding and critically discussing the interwoven processes and procedures at play within justice systems dealing with child sexual abuse. The second aim is to use the method to critically analyse and discuss the effectiveness of Barnahus in Iceland. The method identifies four main principles of international instruments which offer a constructive way to analyse parallel procedures and practices within justice systems. The study of Barnahus strongly indicates that the model was a radical improvement in furthering child friendly justice but some obstacles remain and the challenge of progressive and effective implementation of international instruments is an ongoing process.
