PART FIVE: DUTIES UNDER THE CHARTER (Articles 27, 28 and 29) Chapter 2 of the Constitution (Articles 23 to 28) sets forth these duties which consist in respecting the constitution, laws and regulations as well as the defence of the nation and territorial integrity… For the implementation of these duties, the State has carried out certain activities including the establishment of the National Youth Council of Cote d’Ivoire (CNJCI) per Decree No. 2012-989 of 10 October, 2012. This body aims at involving the youth in the decision-making process, participating in training and the promotion of civic education among the population, particularly the youth. This ensured the setting up of community committees for the civic education and training of the youth. To ensure that the youth issue is better catered for in a holistic manner, a ministry responsible for the promotion of the youth, youth employment and civic service was set up in May, 2015. Furthermore, a human rights education programme called the EDHC was incorporated into the school curriculum. The EDHC programme, from nursery through technical and vocational training to higher education, aims at developing a Human Rights and Citizenship culture through the acquisition of knowledge, skills and related values: - respect of ethics, Human Rights and fundamental freedoms; - democratic practice based on the the principles of law and justice for sustainable social peace; - promotion of good governance and sustainable development; - exercise of Human Rights; - respect of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and - exercise of rights and duties in respect of others and the community for course objectives and content. Human Rights and Citizenship Education eventually aims at changing the behaviour of the citizenry through the defence of their human rights and the promotion of the values of the culture of peace for nation building. Like history and geography, it facilitates the integration of the citizen into his environment. 48
