A/HRC/14/34 health.32 The publication is based on the principles and recommendations of the Kyiv Declaration on Women’s Health in Prison, adopted following a conference in November 2008 co-organized by, inter alia, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The Declaration stresses that “the underlying importance of human rights should underpin all thinking and all policy development for all those in compulsory detention”. Although focused on European countries, the Health in Prison Project could be replicated in other regions of the world. 29. Recent years have also seen the continued rolling out of a set of 15 juvenile justice indicators (together with a manual for implementation) developed by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and UNODC in 2006 together with a manual.33 Roll-out took place in the South East Asia region in 2008 and the Middle East and North African regions in 2009.34 30. The Interagency Panel on Juvenile Justice (IPJJ) continued to facilitate and enhance country and global level coordination in the provision of technical advice and assistance in juvenile justice in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other relevant norms and standards.35 Mandated by the Economic and Social Council,36 the IPJJ has, since 2008, encouraged States to adopt a comprehensive approach to juvenile justice reform in a manner that upholds the rights of the child in contact with the justice system, in line with the Secretary-General’s Guidance Note on the United Nations Approach to Justice for Children. The Panel’s work includes increasing the availability of existing technical resources on juvenile justice (primarily through its website, www.juvenilejusticepanel.org) and building and maintaining a juvenile justice expert roster, a revised version of which was developed in 2008 and published online in early 2009. 31.
