The Constitutional Tribunal considered eleven norms of the Return Law, approved by Parliament, constitutional. The judges of the Ratton Palace based their decision this Friday, analyzing the law that has been the subject of public debate.

In the reasoning of the decision, the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal stated that the Return Law provides relevant guarantees that protect the superior interest of children. This was one of the main reasons that led to the validation of the norms in question.

The decision represents an important milestone in the application of this legislation, which aims to facilitate the return of children to their countries of origin. The Tribunal assessed that the law meets the constitutional requirements regarding the protection of minors.
