Honduras to Debate Delinquent Youth
Honduran Human Rights Commissioner Ramon Custodio has affirmed that the National Congress will re-open in July discussions on youth delinquency, abuse, child exploitation and rising domestic violence.

Custodio noted the inter-institutional commission against delinquency, composed of Congressional deputies, his organization and a local law school, will realize a study and overhaul legislature.

He added that the meeting should launch a proposal over the consolidation of laws dealing with measures to prevent youth delinquency, abuse, child exploitation and domestic violence.

The Congress should also analyze the crimes committed by gangs that have grown in recent months.

The Human Rights representative emphasized that since many exploited boys, girls and teens are seriously addicted to drugs, the Executive and every institution must outline a strategy to eradicate that scourge.
