The Court of Peers Lost in Time
Original language description
The paper focuses on the deconstruction of the normative activities of two bodies of childhood’s self-government. The authorities were set up as an educational experiment at summer camps and at an orphanage more than a hundred years ago. Their phenomenal proponent was Janusz Korczak. The first authority is the Court of Peers. The court was composed of children, drawn by lot, who were not involved in any court case at that time. While the other body, the Court Council, was elected by children. But one of the educators had to be selected as its member. Both self-government authorities decided on the consequences of misconduct of children and educators as well. The consequences were varied, particularly consisting of forgiveness, hearing with a dictum, or exceptionally by some punishment (for instance exclusion from the dormitory). The project allowed the children to perform their substantive and procedural rights. Rights of the child was justified beyond their normative content. They were based on the plurality of autonomy, freedom and respect for children. On these foundations also worth the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
