Rights of Children and Adolescents the System of Guarantees

From international law to being internalised in our domestic legal system, the rights of children and adolescents have been strengthened. Thus, they come to be considered as "subjects of rights" and not mere "objects of rights". As a result, the protection granted to them by the legal system has been increased, stipulating that exceptional measures may be requested in certain cases where the rights of children and adolescents may be violated. In this sense, the present research work will analyse the legislation in force, as well as what has been indicated by doctrine and jurisprudence. The aim is to answer the role of the decentralised enforcement body in the administrative/judicial process of an exceptional measure of protection.
