simplicity, more than four (4) magistrates were appointed to work only for the Legal Guardianship of Children of Bissau, to give greater impetus to the procedures. 130. In the criminal field, criminal protection of children's rights, without neglecting other extravagant legislation, comes basically from the Criminal Code approved by Decree Law No.4/93, of October 13. The child only from the age of 16, is susceptible to criminal penalty. Before this age is criminally irresponsible and can only be subjected to a specific system - the protection of children’s rights - regulated in our legal system by Decree No.417/71, of September 29. 131. The offender who is over 16 years of age and less than 20 years of age, shall apply the abstract penalty corresponding to the type of offense committed, especially mitigated. 132. Thus, we have the legal categories, which protect as a legal rights of children, namely, infanticide, provided and punishable by Article 110; exposure and abandonment, provided for, punishable under Article 113; rape, punishable by Article 133; sexual abuse, punishable under Article 134; and the child trafficking, punishable under Article 196, both of the Penal Code. 5.3. Right to life, Survival and Development 133. The principle that the child has, such as the right to life, is part of the general rule that every human being has the right to life, physical integrity, honor, etc. 134. In the specific case of children, given their fragile conditions, the State and society in general, must assume the role of guaranteeing the realization of this principle, whose corollary is the right to protection, the right to a good health condition, the right to live in a healthy environment that provides harmonious development. 135. On the basis of this principle, many actions have been taken and many protection structures have been established in specific institutions, such as health, education and infrastructures, which should be highlighted here. _______________________ 5 In the area of child protection, there are other types of criminal law in various extravagant legislation, namely the law on trafficking in human beings and the law on female genital mutilation. 136. The Guinean State, has promoted, through various mechanisms, the harmonious development of the personality of the child and created favorable conditions for its integration and participation in the active life of society and in collaboration with family and society. 137. In order to realize the right to survival and development, a number of measures of a primarily administrative nature, have been taken, exemplifying the projects and programs referred to in chapter I on the General Implementing Measures of the Convention. Such measures, have substantially contributed to the improvement of the Life Expectancy indicator, which increased from 48 years for both sexes in 2008 to 52 years in 2010. 26
