The purpose of the guide is to promote a more just, sustainable, and social world where human rights violations do not go unpunished. The guide is intended for the use of the local administration of Catalonia, including municipal companies with public majority participation. This does not prevent the guide from becoming a reference text for the other local entities in Spain. |
