A/62/221 provides advice and support to States upon request. 20 Finally, he refers to the UNODC publication Juvenile Justice, 21 part of the Criminal Justice Assessment Toolkit, which contains juvenile justice indicators 22 and information on best practices in the area of diversion, restorative justice, institutional treatment, etc. It also deals with vulnerable groups and provides guidance on management- and supervision-related issues. 66. In accordance with these handbooks, toolkits and relevant norms and standards of the United Nations, including rules 1 (5) and 5 of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Measures (The Tokyo Rules), the Special Rapporteur encourages States to make the broadest possible use of the wide range of non-custodial measures available, which can be imposed at all stages of the administration of criminal justice: pretrial, trial, or execution of sentence. The human right to personal liberty is one of the most precious assets of human beings and a precondition for living a meaningful life. Human beings should be deprived of this asset only if absolutely necessary for the purpose of crime prevention or similarly important public interests. At the same time, avoiding deprivation of liberty as far as possible is one of the most efficient means of preventing torture and ill-treatment. __________________ 20 21 22 07-45686 See http://www.juvenilejusticepanel.org/en/.
