The protection of children's rights must represent a superior interest for the states. Contradictorily to the large number of legal provisions, international agreements, and national public policies that have been implemented to guarantee the comprehensive protection of the rights of girls and boys, there are currently a high number of factors that threaten their integral development. This research carries out a study with the aim of identifying, preventing and correcting these elements of various kinds, which violate the basic rights of minors. As a result, a survey was applied that made it possible to identify the current status of the guarantees stipulated for the comprehensive protection of the best interests of children and adolescents.

Keywords : Boys; best interests; protection.
