The main guarantees of the primacy of the interests of children are being determined, APA reports.
This is reflected in the new draft Law “On the Rights of the Child” discussed at today’s meeting of the Milli Majlis Committee on Family, Women and Children’s Affairs.
State bodies (institutions) and local self-government bodies must prioritize children’s rights and freedoms in their activities and create conditions for ensuring these rights and freedoms. Normative legal acts of the Republic of Azerbaijan and decisions of state bodies (institutions) must not contradict the best interests of the child, and their implementation must not harm children’s life, development, or upbringing.
