20.500.12556/DKUM-95813 Safeguarding the child's best interests in judicial proceedings through digital technology Although appearing in court can cause significant psychological distress to children, especially when involved in criminal proceedings or family disputes, their participation in judicial proceedings is sometimes unavoidable. While children's procedural rights are rarely the main issue in proceedings before the ECtHR, its case law has nonetheless established certain standards concerning the need for child-friendly approaches. However, safeguarding children's rights to effective participation and to be heard while simultaneously protecting them from secondary victimisation remains challenging. With the development of technology and the digitalisation of judicial systems, new approaches and opportunities continue to emerge. Remote hearings and various digital tools hold great potential to make judicial proceedings less intimidating and traumatic when implemented with proper safeguards. The paper analyses relevant ECtHR case law, the psychological aspects of remote hearings, and some examples of Slovenian good practices concerning using digital tools in judicial proceedings involving children. procedural rights of children digitalisation of justice psychological impact remote hearing effective participation true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2025-10-25 03:25:23 2025-11-17 10:08:07 2025-11-18 03:08:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 279-300 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 347.9-053.2 251245827 254608387 10.18690/um.pf.8.2025.15 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/catalog/book/1041/chapter/871 1 7a9eb87a-b141-11f0-b0e0-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200184 Safeguarding+the+Child’s+Best+Interests+in+Judicial+Proceedings+Through+Digital+Technology_(2).pdf Safeguarding+the+Child’s+Best+Interests+in+Judicial+Proceedings+Through+Digital+Technology_(2).pdf 1 6CEAB9FFB4885CEF67E436A9B0BA9DEA d6a0d01eb6fed423aaa59e05a08248102f87e4cd00a0b3c348b75db2dc4e7ff3 e80882eb-c394-11f0-a1b7-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200697 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
