b) Freedom of expression 55. The Constitution of the Republic of Burundi guarantees the right to information. Access to various sources of information, both national and international, for the promotion of social, spiritual and moral well-being and their physical and mental health is guaranteed to Burundian children. 56. At national level, more than a dozen of public and private radio stations broadcast special programmes for children and youth for their psychological, intellectual and socio-cultural development. The school radio (NDERAGAKURA) has been created and contributes to this end. The introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Burundi, although recent, allows children through social networks, to access a variety of information useful for their development. However, Burundi does not yet have a monitoring tool for better child-friendly exploitation. 57. It should be noted that the programme "children journalists", which is the translation of articles 12, 13, 14 and 17 of the CRC, has been operational in Burundi since 2006. The aim of this programme is to prepare these children to sensitise other children, the general public and decision makers in Burundi and elsewhere about the situation of the most vulnerable children in the country. These very children journalists make films on the themes "children". c). Freedom of thought, conscience and religion (art.14) 58. Article 31 of the Constitution stipulates that "the State respects freedom of religion, thought and conscience". As with freedom of expression, the child exercises the rights within the adult age of the eighteen-year that the law confers on him. d) Freedom of association and peaceful assembly 59. Article 32 of the Constitution guarantees freedom of assembly and association, as well as the right to found associations or organisations in accordance with the law. The decreelaw of April 18, 1992 on the organic framework of non-profit associations only allows membership of associations to those who have reached the adult age of 21 years. However, children can join youth movements of cultural, sports, social, religious, etc. nature. e).Protection of privacy (art.16) 60. The protection of privacy is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Burundi in Articles 28 and 43. Article 28 states that every woman and every man has the right to respect for his/her privacy and family life, his/her home and personal communications. Article 43 provides that no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his/her privacy, family, home or correspondence, or to his honour and reputation. 18
