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 discussed in the Family, Women and Children Affairs Committee of the Milli Majlis 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 bill "On Children's Rights", the state protects children from advertisements that are morally and physically harmful.
The project states that the main principles for the protection of children from harmful advertising and the requirements for advertising will be determined by the law "On Advertising".
Furthermore, according to the proposed amendment to the law "On the 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 featuring tobacco products and the process of tobacco use via airwaves and cable broadcasting, will be prohibited.
The issue was adopted in its third reading.
