Abstract
Juvenile delinquency is of a global concern, members of the United Nations (UN), including the Philippines, remain committed to funding research, programs, and initiatives to combat juvenile delinquency and provide positive outcomes for youth, their families, and their communities, as well as raising awareness and ensuring the proper implementation of the juvenile justice system. There are now a plethora of international mechanisms in place that provide specific protection to youths in the juvenile justice system, such as diversion and intervention, which will be the focus of the paper. Data and statistics on children in conflict with the law and, in particular, the status of children on intervention and diversion are both lacking in the country. For the establishment of appropriate policies and initiatives aimed at improving juvenile justice and protecting the rights of children in confrontation with the law, this is essential. The aim of this paper is to assess the implementation of the diversion and intervention programs for CICL as stipulated in the Juvenile Justice Welfare Act of 2006 otherwise known as RA 9344.
