National Council of Public Policies for Youth
The National Council of Public Policies for Youth is an organization where the policies of prevention, protection, promotion and the guaranteeing of rights for young people are defined, followed-up on and evaluated at the national level. This Council, together with the organizations created in the territorial entities for youth, forms the Institutional Subsystem of the National Youth System. Its members come from the national entities responsible for youth issues and the National Youth Council, which is composed of young representatives from the Departmental and Municipal Youth Councils in which the territorial agendas of the issues that affect them are coordinated and followed-up on. The National Council on Public Youth Policies was created by statutory law 1622 of 2013: the "Statute of Juvenile Citizenship", which amended ordinary law 375 of 1997. The main change of the new law is that the legal nature of the subject of youth was increased, since statutory laws have a higher rank than ordinary laws because it touches upon fundamental rights or substantive aspects of the Constitution. Other changes included in this new law are that it places greater emphasis on rights assurances, advocacy, capacity building, public investment, authority qualifications, equitable relationships and a differential approach.
