Governance practices of children and adolescents proposed by UNICEF and UNESCO: concerns from the analytical tools inherited from Foucault

The article in question is the reslt of round-table talks given at the International Colloquium Michel Foucault judicialization of life, held in October 2011, at the State University of Rio Janeiro. The text described here is part of the analysis performed for years in documentary research, with the tools of Michel Foucault, with reports from multilateral agencies linked to the United Nations system, particularly UNICEF and UNESCO in Brazil. We seek to challenge these practices and describe how they are prescriptive of conduct and are neoliberal strategies of government, combining the promotion, protection and guarantee of rights to political economy on behalf of the defense of life and peace building and global security.
