The commitment and mission of the Public Order and Security Forces has precisely to do with guaranteeing the security and projection of people, especially when the integrity of the NNA and their right to denounce with guarantees attached to the national jurisdiction, as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, are at stake”.
The official letter, dated March 17, requests information on the criteria and norms that support the non-opening of 13 internal investigations, even when the complaint is related to the transgression of the sexual integrity of minors.
