Members
Le Monde des Enfants was founded in 2002 by Guinean staff working on the psychosocial support programmes of the French charity ‘Enfants Réfugiés du Monde’ (ERM). Since then, strong ties have been forged between the two organisations, and the partnership has evolved through a gradual transfer of skills, culminating in the independence of MDE in November 2005.
This process was made possible by the introduction of a ‘pair-working’ approach within the NGO’s management team: each ERM expatriate worked closely with a member of MDE to build the specific knowledge required to manage projects relating to psychosocial support for children, as well as to expand the NGO’s scope of intervention amongst children and communities in Guinée Forestière. This process of project handover was gradual.
Today, MDE develops its own projects to support the people of Guinée, particularly those in Guinée Forestière and Upper Guinée, in collaboration with its network of national and international partners, in order to achieve its objectives.
MDE’s vision: To see all vulnerable children and young people in Guinée living in a suitable socio-educational environment.
MDE’s mission: To contribute to improving the socio-educational care provided to vulnerable children and young people within Guinean communities.

Extraterritoriality & Extradition
Partial
Active extraterritoriality is provided over crimes committed outside Guinea by Guineans or residents, provided that they are punishable by the law of the place of their commission and under Guinean law. Active extraterritoriality applies to Guinean nationals who commit some crimes of international nature outside Guinea such as human trafficking, not requiring double criminality. Passive extraterritoriality is provided for “crimes” and “délits” punishable by imprisonment committed outside Guinea if the victim is Guinean at the time of the commission and certain conditions are fulfilled, which limits the scope of application.
Extraditable offences are those punishable under Guinean law and punishable by criminal penalties by the law of the requesting State; acts punishable by correctional penalties under the law of the requesting State, when the maximum penalty of imprisonment under the law is 2 or more years, or, for a convicted person, when the sentence pronounced by the jurisdiction of the requesting State is 2 or more months’ imprisonment. Even though there is no specific provision on the extradition of SEC related offences, SEC offences defined in the Criminal Code are extraditable as they are punished with more than 2 years.
