Annotation.

It should be noted that the fight against crime is one of the most important directions of the state’s international cooperation. At the same time, it should be noted that the mentioned cooperation with international structures is carried out within the framework of relevant legal acts, a part of which is the acts related to the treatment of minors. The article is generally devoted to international standards of treatment of juvenile convicts. The research was carried out based on the analysis of the available statistical data and although we can state that the number of punishments and sanctions related to the deprivation of liberty for minors has decreased, but the level of juvenile delinquency may also increase along with the current increase in crime. Due to the above circumstances, an attempt was made by the author to combine and compare internationally defined standards and domestic legislation.
