The National Advisory Council on Combating Domestic Violence (CNCLVD) was created in 2002 within Law 17.514 of Domestic Violence. It is an intersectorial body that, in addition to representatives of different state bodies, has the participation of 3 representatives of non-governmental organizations. It should advise the Executive Branch in this matter, work for the implementation of the law, promote implementation programs and evaluate the national situation of domestic violence annually, as well as promote the implementation of international standards at the national level. In the "National Plans to Fight Domestic Violence" they present their working guide. The law also includes Regional or Departmental Commissions that were created to promote the work of the National Commission.
