About this statute

This preamble says the law partially develops Article 44 of the Constitution to protect children from the risks of pyrotechnic or explosive articles. The law’s purpose is to guarantee children’s fundamental rights to life, physical integrity, health, and recreation, and to provide protection around pyrotechnic articles or games. Todo adulto debe contribuir eficazmente a prevenir los riesgos causados por artículos pirotécnicos y fuegos artificiales que puedan afectar la vida, la integridad física, la salud y la infancia del menor. El menor tiene derecho a protección en su vida, integridad física y salud. Los padres deben orientar a sus hijos y menores sobre la prohibición del uso de pólvora, y padres y niños participarán en programas de prevención de riesgos organizados por autoridades municipales y otros estamentos del Estado. Los alcaldes municipales y distritales pueden permitir el uso, distribución y ciertos espectáculos con artículos pirotécnicos, but must set safety conditions and rely on technical guidance from authorities or fire brigades.
