Abstract

The role of the juvenile court does not end with imposing an educational measure, which is the specificity of the court's position in criminal proceedings against juveniles. Formally speaking, although the legal provisions on supervision over the implementation of educational measures fall within the scope of the implementation of criminal sanctions, they are regulated in the procedural part of the Juvenile Justice Act. When supervising the implementation of educational measures, the juvenile court may annul the effects of this criminal sanction during the enforcement procedure. For the suspension of the implementation of an educational measure or the modification of this decision, there is no need to declare claim for legal remedies. The supervisory role of the juvenile court allows for the annulment of the effects of educational measures regardless of the procedure for initiating a review of the factual and legal basis of decisions (made in proceedings against juveniles) in proceedings on legal remedies. However, this does not mean that decisions on criminal sanctions made in proceedings against juveniles cannot be challenged by legal remedies. On the contrary, the effect of criminal sanctions imposed in proceedings against juveniles (especially juvenile prison sentences) may be annulled in proceedings initiated by claiming legal remedies.
