The image of children in advertisements may only be used with the consent of parents or persons replacing them.
Modern.az reports that the issue was discussed at today's plenary session of the Milli Majlis.
The amendment, which was brought up for discussion in the Milli Majlis Committee on Family, Women and Children Affairs, states that materials featuring a child's image in advertisements may only be used with the consent of their parents (or persons replacing them).
It should be recalled that, according to the newly drafted "On Children's Rights" bill, the state protects children from advertisements that are morally and physically harmful.
The project notes that the main principles for the protection of children from harmful advertising and the requirements for advertising will be determined by the "On Advertising" law.
Furthermore, according to the proposed amendment to the law "On Restriction of the Use of Tobacco Products", the display of tobacco products and the process of tobacco use at events held for children, as well as the public broadcasting of works, performances, and programs that display tobacco products and the process of tobacco use, via air or cable transmission, will be prohibited.
