National Honorary Advisory Council on the Rights of Children and Adolescents
The National Honorary Advisory Council on the Rights of Children and Adolescents was created with Law No. 17.823 - Code of Children and Adolescents, in 2004, but was only constituted in 2007. The Council has two representatives of the Executive Power (one of which will preside over it) as well as other governmental institutions involved in the issue, as well as two representatives of nongovernmental organizations for the promotion and care of children and adolescents appointed by the National Association of Nongovernmental Organizations (ANONG). The Council's mission is to promote, coordinate and integrate sectorial policies for the care of children and adolescents of different public institutions. It can also advise in the field of laws, budgets, etc. and should be heard in the process of drafting the report that the State should carry out for the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. One of the central issues that the council worked on in recent years was that of reducing the age of criminal responsibility, which was critically followed.
