Abstract

The primary focus of this paper however, is the testing of the Act against international human rights standards. It is an approach encouraged by the increasing deference to international human rights norms within the academic and judicial arenas. Thus it is appropriate that due regard be given to international values in determining the benchmarks for acceptable treatment of young offenders, notwithstanding that the instruments in which some such values are explicated have not been incorporated into municipal law.
