Both resolutions complement previously adopted standard minimum rules for the administration of juvenile justice. They are comprehensive, promote a proactive approach to juvenile delinquency prevention, and consider children to be full participants in society. The guidelines deal with almost every social area related to family, school, and community, and prevention focuses on upgrading the quality of life. The guidelines incorporate special situations and special groups based on a child-centered orientation. Provisions in the guidelines stipulate that implementation must be within the framework of all UN instruments and norms related to the rights, interests, and well-being of children. Overall, the guidelines represent part of a recent but very strong movement to protect the human rights of children. 17 references
