Paraguay

Submitted by crinadmin on

The second smallest country in the Southern Cone of South America, Paraguay is landlocked between Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina. Following decades of dictatorship, this democratic republic remains politically unstable, and is still seen as a haven for drug smuggling and money laundering. In relation to children’s rights, some of the most prominent issues include a low minimum age of criminal responsibility, children working in domestic labour and trafficking.
