This article will be discussing international standards in the criminal justice system and how to better and protect the rights in this area. The criminal justice area is one where international standards and treaties that the United States is party to provide more protection than our laws and can continue to provide a foundation for criminal justice reform in the United States. International law has provided the support for prohibiting excessive sentences for juvenile offenders in the last 10 years. This includes the death penalty and the mandatory juvenile life without parole. The international law standards have been raised in the juvenile sentencing cases. This is due to amici curiae. The court has not referred to international standards in more recent juvenile sentencing cases.
