El principio del Interés Superior del Menor.

Abstract

Minors’ superior interest principle is found in the Childhood and Adolescence Organic Code (2003) in its 11th article, mentioning different parameters regarding function, competence, jurisdiction and its reach. This principle is of outmost importance regarding parent-child relationships, as it enshrines that children and adolescents are the main holders of active rights, and enjoy privileges that the norms, society, and the state must and have the obligation to guarantee for their effective enjoyment. It has been demonstrated that parent-child relations do not fulfil due to many factors, the obligations that give effect to their rights, a situation that negatively impacts their integral development enshrined in Article 44 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, thus, the present titling work aims to analyze the different factors that affect the compliance of children and adolescents with the right to food that is essential for their dignified life.
