of the family and no one can ensure the support of such minors or ensure regular care
384.Children in situation of abuse and ill treatment: In order to protect the child from
all forms of violence, exploitation, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, the state
has implemented special measures in accordance with the law. When the family is a
danger to education, health or development of the child, he/she is immediately
removed and placed by court decision either in a foster family or in an appropriate
institution.
385.The Algerian criminal law prohibits trafficking of human beings and exploitation for
prostitution (Articles 342-346 of the Criminal Code). Some of these provisions deal

the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
386.With regard to the abduction, the Criminal Code devotes an entire section to freedom
violations, kidnapping, abduction and sequestration.

imprisonment for 10 to 20 years.
388.Rape perpetrated against a minor below 16 years of age is punishable by

years and life imprisonment, in case of violence.
389.As part of the protection of society from all forms of crime especially against women
and children, the Criminal Code has undergone several amendments, including
focusing on the criminalization of the phenomenon of human trafficking in respect of
compliance of national legislation with the Convention on the fight against
transnational organized Crime and its Additional Protocol.
