Description

The Regulations of the General Law on the Rights of Children and Adolescents serve as a detailed administrative framework for implementing the principles and mandates of the General Law. These regulations define the responsibilities of federal institutions—particularly the Executive Secretariat and the Federal and Local Child Protection Offices—in ensuring the protection, promotion, and fulfillment of children's rights across Mexico. They establish procedures for coordination among federal, state, and municipal authorities, and emphasize a cross-sectoral approach to public policy that prioritizes the best interests of children and adolescents. The regulations also outline mechanisms for public participation, including the involvement of children and civil society in decision-making processes, and set standards for monitoring, evaluation, and accountability in the implementation of child protection policies.
