LEGAL ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM EXPERIENCED BY CHILD VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Abstract

The Special Part of the Criminal Code of Mongolia 
establishes a legal framework for monetary compensation for 
victims of certain crimes, based on the classification of 
psychological harm suffered and the principle of partial fault. 
This framework aims to protect the rights and legitimate 
interests of children, ensuring proportionate compensation for 
psychological harm. However, the lack of clear standards for 
assessing psychological  harm and the ambiguous manages of responsible authorities impede the effective protection of child 
victims psychological well being and legal status. This article 
examines the current regulatory framework and highlights its 
primary challenges.
