The rights of the family, the basic unit of the society, are guaranteed as we have seen throughout this report, by existing laws and in particular the Family Code. 332. The Personal Status Act promotes the family in its cultural specificities, protects the unit and ensures harmony within. It also sets forth the obligations of parents towards their children as well as the duties of the latter in respect of their parents. 333. Article 17 of the Constitution defines the obligations of citizens towards the national community: “The defence of the Nation and territorial integrity of the Republic is a moral duty of all Djiboutians”. Similarly, treason, spying, transmitting information to the enemy as well as all infringements committed against the State security are repressed by the Criminal Code. 334. The Adapted National Service (SNA) for unemployed young people who dropped out of school early was established to provide them with vocational training within the National Army and the qualifications needed to enter the labour market as well as to teach them the values of respect and safeguard of national interests. 61
