On 2 March, the fifth of nine modules was conducted on the theme of “Guaranteeing access to justice for all”, where Director Morinaga gave an overview of juvenile justice and child protection in Japan in the session “Promoting child-friendly justice design”. The lecture was followed by a lively Q&A session, during which participants asked a variety of questions, including about the age of criminal responsibility.
