The concepts of best interests of the child and inhuman treatment of minors from the perspective of the right to education have (re)become a constant in the debates of professionals and civil society as a whole since the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic. It is well known that both international treaties and Council of Europe conventions protect theright to life and physical integrity and give additional protection to minors, imposed by their vulnerability due to their physical and moral immaturity. Current trends in criminal law provisions are to protect minors by criminalising several acts that may limit their rights, but also by establishing aggravating circumstances for offences against minors. The recent reference studies carried out by UNICEF, "Save the Children", have highlighted shocking realities and have opened up not at all encouraging perspectives on educational difficulties, psycho-social deviance and the legal and criminal aspects that the Covid19 pandemic has projected onto minors. These issues call for sustainable remedial solutions, in the short and medium term, both at national and international level, as well as a legal framework in which they can function and in which offences against minors can be prosecuted swiftly, taking into account the new realities of cyberspace.
