On 23 June 2026, the Presidential Library hosted the presentation ceremony of the book Children and Law, dedicated to promoting legal awareness among children.

Prepared by the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs, the publication aims to inform children about their rights and responsibilities, familiarize them with the obligations of families, schools, and the state in safeguarding children's rights, and encourage them to exercise their rights effectively while fulfilling their responsibilities conscientiously.

Opening the event, Professor Afet Abbasova, Director of the Presidential Library, noted that the presentation coincided with Civil Servants’ Professional Day and described the publication as one of the finest examples of service to the state. She emphasized that protecting children's rights is one of Azerbaijan's priority areas and highlighted that the attention given to children makes a significant contribution to building an inclusive society. Professor Abbasova also noted that Children and Law is the first children's book to be presented to the Presidential Library and expressed confidence that more publications of this kind would be added in the future.

Ms. Bahar Muradova, Chairperson of the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs, stressed that children's early awareness of their rights and responsibilities plays a vital role in shaping their national identity and civic consciousness. She noted that the adoption of the new Law on Children's Rights is aimed at strengthening the protection of children's rights and ensuring their comprehensive development. She also emphasized the importance of helping children develop a clear understanding of their rights from an early age. Ms. Muradova recalled that the book had previously been presented together with an analytical review and stated that its inclusion in the collection of the Presidential Library carries particular significance by ensuring children's representation within the institution. She also announced that an electronic version of the publication would be donated to the Library.
