This paper is drafted on the basis of the discussions that took place at the 5th Meeting of the European Council for Juvenile Justice (ECJJ) that took place in February 2017 in Valencia. At this meeting experts of the Council were consulted on the implementation of the Directive in national laws and practice. In paragraph 2, the context of EU law will be sketched out, with a particular focus on children’s rights. In paragraph 3, the development of the Directive and its drafting process will be touched upon, before turning to the content of the Directive. In paragraph 4, four key issues are identified and analysed in more detail in order to come to a better understanding on how to implement these particular rights in practice.

Two key rights are reflected upon: the right to legal assistance and the right to other appropriate assistance. The main challenge with regard to the implementation of the right to legal assistance is the possibility of member states to derogate from this right on the basis of the circumstances of the particular criminal case(s) involving the child. The right to legal assistance is contingent upon the proportionality clause that has been built in the Directive and therefore legal assistance is not guaranteed for every child suspect or accused. The right to other appropriate assistance is given separate attention in the Directive, which strengthens the child’s legal position and his support during the proceedings.

This is a topical issue given the rapid developments in this area and the far-reaching implications biomedical research and new forms of treatment can have on the rights of children. 1 It is generally thought that the health and well-being of children-as well as others-can immensely benefit from the advances made in the domain of biomedicine, but at the same time there is considerable concern about its potential adverse effects on children and their rights. 1 To guide its work on children's rights, the Council of Europe has adopted a strategy on the rights of the child; Council of Europe, 'Strategy for the Rights of the Child (2016-2021)', (2016). The strategy can also benefit actions related to biomedicine and children, see p. 19.

Yet, children today remain excluded from meaningful political influence, and children’s enfranchisement stands as a main point of contention. The article posits the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as a decisive legal and theoretical basis for conceptualising children’s political rights, political participation
and voting. It explores key CRC provisions that relate to children in the political context and analyses the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child’s (CRC Committee) work to map what exists and what remains missing and under-developed in this discussion. Specifically, the article elaborates on the right to be heard, revealing the CRC Committee’s evolutive interpretive approach concerning its implementation in
the political context. The article also focuses on children’s enfranchisement, exploring the CRC’s potential to advocate for lowering the voting age from a child rights-based perspective.
