Article 27: Exercise of rights and freedoms with due regard to the rights of others, collective security, morality and common interest 437. Rights and freedoms shall be exercised in accordance with the Constitution and the law. The exercise of rights and freedoms shall not in any way violate the rights of other persons, the collective security, morality and the common interest. Several legislative texts supported by regulatory texts govern the exercise of these rights and freedoms, determine their legal regime and lay down the sanctions applicable in the event of violation of the rights of others or against the inherent requirements transgressing the collective security, morality and the common interest. For example, this is applicable to the fundamental codes: (civil code, commercial code, family code, criminal code…); specific laws (law on information, law on public meetings and demonstrations, law governing elections, law on political parties, law governing the practice of religion other than Islam …). 738. Furthermore, for the citizen, the obligation to exercise and enjoy these rights and freedoms, while respecting the rights and freedoms of others is enshrined in Article 63 of the Constitution, which stipulates that “All the rights which a person enjoys shall be exercised in a manner which is respectful of the rights conferred by the Constitution on others, in particular by the right to honour, to the intimacy and the protection of the family, of youth and childhood”. 439. In this respect, the State of Algeria, by means of its judicial authority and security agencies ensures the respect of this obligation, and consequently of the security of persons, property and of the national community and the guarantee of the exercise of public freedoms. The intervention by the State in this area is exercised in compliance with the law, according to the laws and regulations in the Republic, in particular with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code under the supervision of the magistrates at the Public Prosecutor’s Office. 440. While ensuring that this Constitutional requirement is complied with by every citizen, the State serves as a regulator by guaranteeing and protecting these rights and public freedoms by initiating the procedures and mechanisms put in place by the lawmaker, according to the provisions set forth by the relevant legislation including international Conventions and Treaties signed and ratified by Algeria. Articles 28 and 29: Other individual duties Harmonious Development of the Family 441. The family, from the point of view of its harmonious development, social cohesion and respect, has been given special attention by the lawmaker, the public authorities and civil society. The Algerian lawmaker has devoted several legal provisions to the family. They include, inter alia: some basic provisions contained in the civil code (capacity, full age of adulthood, ….) and the civil and administrative procedure code (the institution of a section of family affairs to each court: Section 423 et seq.); of the family code containing the provisions relating to guardianship, the right of custody (or hadana), divorce (Law No. 84-11 of 9 June 1984, as amended and supplemented; Ordinance No. 70-86 of 15 December 1970 concerning the Algerian nationality Code, as amended and supplemented, which henceforth allows the woman to grant Algerian nationality to her children. 72
