65 This is a reality as the Burundian judicial system is decentralized: the Housing Tribunals in the Districts, the Lower Courts in the Provinces, the Appeal Courts in GITEGA, Bujumbura and NGOZI and the Supreme Court. Also within each Court and Tribunal there is a Prosecutor’s Department except in the Housing Tribunals. - Burundi’s commitment in ensuring respect for this provision is evidenced by its ratification of a certain number of international legal instruments, notably the International Human Rights Conventions of 16 December 1966, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights of 18 June 1981, the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights establishing the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. It should nonetheless be pointed out that the National Council of the Judiciary, the highest disciplinary institution is chaired by the President of the Republic, assisted by the Minister of Justice (Art. 219 of the Constitution). Article 27: Responsibilities towards the Family, Society and the State 1. Every individual shall have duties towards his family and society, the State and other legally recognized communities and the international community. 2. The rights and freedoms of each individual shall be exercised with due regard to the rights of others, collective security, morality and common interest. This provision of the Charter and all the other proclaimed rights and responsibilities constitute an integral part of the Constitution of the Republic of Burundi (Article 19 of the Constitution). Pursuant to Article 63 of the Constitution, « each citizen has responsibilities towards the Family, towards Society, towards the State and the other Public Authorities ». Article 66 stipulates that: « each Burundian has the responsibility of protecting the harmonious development of the Family and of working for its cohesion and respect, of respecting his parents at all times, of feeding and assisting them at all times. A joint analysis of the two provisions of the Charter makes it possible to understand that Burundi has widely integrated the principles of fundamental human rights in its domestic legislation generally and the provisions of the Charter in particular.
