Forum on the Executions of Children and Youth in Honduras
The Forum on the Executions of Children and Youth in Honduras is a civil society organization created in order to foster dialogue between representatives of the State and Civil Society. This participatory space drafts new perspectives and analyses aimed at jointly seeking effective solutions to the phenomenon of extrajudicial, summary and arbitrary executions of children and young people in the country. The Forum was created after 2,600 children and young people had lost their lives as a result of violent deaths and arbitrary executions. In 2002, the Honduran State acknowledged that there were indeed executions, violent deaths, and security forces involved.
