The Cantonal Council for Children and Adolescents of Cuenca is one of these Cantonal Councils. Like the rest, it is a socially recognized public body as a reference for integrity in the definition, monitoring and enforceability of public policies, built with broad social participation, which guarantees the integral protection of the rights of children and adolescents, under the principles of best interest, absolute priority, equality and non-discrimination, co-responsibility of the State, society and the family within their respective spheres, social and gender equity within the framework of human development. Its responsibilities include developing and proposing policies and plans for local implementation for the protection of the rights of children and adolescents and monitoring their compliance and enforcement; as well as requiring the local authorities to apply the legal, administrative and other measures necessary for the protection of such rights; and denouncing before the competent authority actions or omissions that infringe the rights of those who are entitled to its protection.
