41 In effect, the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code of the CAR devote quite broad measures to this group. As example, the Criminal Procedure Code, in its Article 145, parag. 2 stipulates that: « minors of 14 years cannot be jailed. The Penal Code, in its Articles 211 to 214 condemns crimes and offenses against children. And so, the CAR has shown its goodwill to improve the conditions of children by ratifying, on the 23rd May 1992, the Convention on the Rights of the Child of the 20th November 1989. This ratification resulted in the recognition of the condition of the Central African child through the Law n°97.013 of the 11th November 1997 establishing the Central African Family Code which provides comprehensive protection to children. The Constitution of the 27th December 2004 which is in force grants an important place to the Rights of the Child through the relevant provisions, notably Articles 6, parag.3, 4, 5, and 6 and Article 7 of the said Consititution: - - The protection given to the Child against violence, insecurity, exploitation, moral, intellectual and physical abandonment (Article 6, parag. 3) ; The obligation imposed on Parents to educate their children (Article 6, parag.4); Recognition of equality of rights between natural and legitimate children (Article 6, parag.5); Duty of the State and other Local Authorities to guarantee education for children (Art. 6, parag.6).
