CHAPTER THREE: DEMOCRACY AND POLITICAL GOVERNANCE 2. Civil society associations are called upon to: Work towards providing quality care for abandoned children accepted into day nurseries and offer an attentive ear and multi-faceted assistance to unmarried mothers in difficult circumstances. Make parents aware of the importance of good dialogue with children and youths. Objective 9: Promotion and protection of the rights of vulnerable groups, including displaced persons within their own country and refugees i. Summary of the CSAR 364. According to the CSAR, Algeria has adhered to African and international instruments designed to protect refugees, among which are the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951 and its Protocol of 1967, as well as the 1993 African Convention. The Sahraoui people are the most significant refugee group welcomed and assisted by Algeria, following the occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco in 1975. 365. The report also refers to the massive migrations to urban and transit centres in the wake of the terrorism of the 1990s and natural disasters. Faced with these urgent and traumatic situations, the government established humanitarian aid programmes for displaced persons by providing shelter, safety, food, medical care and psychological support, and guaranteed the protection of persons in transit centres. Since 2001, the government has set up economic stimulation programmes aimed at reconstructing displaced persons and reintegrating them into normal life. The number of vulnerable groups (disabled persons, destitute population strata and the aged), has increased following the cumulative effects of terrorism, road accidents and natural disasters. 366. A legal system was adopted to promote and protect vulnerable persons, particularly the disabled. Act 02-09 of 8 May 2002 establishes all the rights provided for by international norms, as decreed. More specifically, the law on disabled persons aims to ensure: (i) consideration of all forms of disability in development policies and programmes; (ii) elimination of all forms of segregation with regard to disabled persons; and (iii) consultation with associations for the disabled to ensure their more successful integration into public, social, economic and cultural life. Among the measures introduced by the Act, the report cites the obligation to reserve 1 per cent of all employment posts for the disabled; otherwise a financial contribution must be made to a special fund for the disabled. The Act also provides for incentives (including subsidies from the state, local groups and social security agencies) to those 121
