territory qualifies for a name and one or more forenames, he/she must be registered in the civil register as provided in Ordinance No. 70-20 of 19 February 1970 on the Code of civil status. 100.It is mandatory for the father or the mother, the doctor or midwife or anyone who witnessed the birth to register the birth within five days after birth, at the state registrar of the child’s birthplace, otherwise they face sanctions. A birth certificate is established immediately by the services of vital statistics (Articles 60, 61, 62 and 63 of Ordinance No. 70-20 of 19 February 1970 on the code of civil status.) Article 63 states, in addition to the date, time, place of birth and sex of the child, the birth certificate must state the names given to him. 101.The deadline for registration is extended to 60 days for the southern and far south regions (Decree No. 73-161) in order to allow the nomads to proceed with the birth registration regardless of where they occurred. 102.The child automatically takes the surname of his father when the latter is known. In the absence of the father and the mother, the registrant chooses its names (s.64). 103.Regarding a child that is found or from unknown parentage, the registrar shall automatically proceed by giving the child of a series of names whose last acts as a surname and shall proceed in registering the child on the registrar. If it is a female child the last name must be male to act as surname. 104.For a newborn found or abandoned on the streets, the declaration must be made by the person who found the child to the registrar of the place where the child was discovered. Minutes shall be prepared and it will be recorded in the civil register. If no affiliation is granted to the child abandoned in a hospital setting, the birth registration shall be done by the maternity ward of the establishment. 105.A child who has benefited from the procedures of the "Kafala" can be given the surname of the "kafil" (Article 1 of Executive Order No. 92- 24 of 13 January 1992 supplementing Decree No. 71 of 03 -157 June 1971 on name change). To date, Algeria is the only Muslim country that allows a correlation of the name of the "makfoul" with that of his "kafil" while this procedure is totally prohibited in the rest of the Muslim world. b) Respect for the views of children (article 7 of the ACRWC) 106.Freedom of conscience and freedom of opinion of the child are guaranteed in generic terms in the Constitution as rights, which apply, to all individuals. Thus, article 36 of the Constitution states that "freedom of conscience and freedom of opinion is inviolable." 107.However, restrictions similar to those of other countries and accepted by international human rights instruments, are imposed by the legislature in order to protect the best interests of the child, his safety, his moral and psychological balance as well as to ensure the maintenance of order, respect for the law and protect morals. 17
