Article 50(2) it stipulates the duty to cooperate, to protect the security and interest of the family to
bring up and ensure the good behavior and education of their children in order to make them
responsible citizens.
Obligation to Supply Maintenance
The Revised Family Code further lays down the obligation to supply maintenance when in need.
The Code states under Article 198(1) that this obligation exists between ascendants and descendants
and between persons related by affinity in the direct line and between collaterals.
Human Rights Education and Awareness Creation [Article 25]
As noted above, a wide range of efforts has been undertaken by the Government to ensure full
awareness of human rights among members of the police, the prosecutors, prison administrators
and members of the military. Training has been provided to prosecutors and members of police
force on the manner of handling investigations without infringing the human rights of suspects.
Special attention has been given to creating awareness of the human rights of women, children and
persons with disabilities. The prosecutor‟s office has also undertaken a series of training programs
on basic human rights protection. Different media instruments have been effectively utilized for this
purpose. The Government has included human rights legal education in projects relating to women
and children‟s issues.107
A series of awareness-creation campaigns have also been held on citizens‟ Constitutional rights, on
the ways and procedures of lodging complaints in cases of violations of rights and on the functions
and powers of the Institution of the Ombudsman. Additional capacity-building training has been
organized for law enforcement authorities, and for the heads of grievance-hearing committees in
different Government institutions. The training has focused on good governance, the limits of
powers and functions of institutions, and the handling of grievances. Volunteers have also been
engaged in further entrenching awareness-creation at different levels of government and society.108
