Abstract
In Vietnam, principles for conducting legal proceedings against juveniles, stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Code, are defined as the core idea throughout the whole process of creation and application of criminal procedures against juveniles. These principles help complete criminal procedures to guarantee juveniles' lawful rights and interests; correct limitations of courts as well as ensure compatibility with UNCRC and Law on child protection, care and education. However, in order to implement these principles properly, Vietnam still needs to revise its criminal procedures against juveniles, standardize qualifications of officials and enhance collaboration between its authorities.
