Methods: The comparison method of international legal mechanisms for the restoration of juvenile justice in Georgia, Germany, and Ukraine is applied. The visual graphic method, the observation method was used. Results: The study determined the effectiveness of the international legal mechanisms of juvenile justice. The tendency to reduce the number of offences committed by minors is observed in all countries. The lack of universal approach to the reconstruction of juvenile justice was established. The direction of further research may be to study the possibility of optimizing the reconstruction of juvenile justice in Ukraine, in particular through strengthening its institutional capacity. Each country must develop its own system that meets its specific needs and conditions.
