The meeting reviewed the Committee’s recommendations on some provisions of Decree Law No. 17/1976 concerning the juveniles as well as the recommendations on the National Strategy for Children (2013-2017), where both subjects were decided to be submitted to the concerned authorities after the approval of the Council of Commissioners.
The Committee also discussed a proposal for an outreach project that aims to protect children from risks they face, particularly those relating to political and social exploitation, where it was decided to mandate the Secretariat to prepare an initial notion on this subject to be presented to the Committee at its next meeting.
