Article 27
1. Every individual shall have duties towards his family and society, the State and other legally
recognised 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.
Article 28
Every individual shall have the duty to respect and consider his fellow beings without
discrimination, and to maintain relations aimed at promoting, safeguarding and reinforcing
mutual respect and tolerance.
326. Article 3 of the 1992 Constitution defines a citizen as “any person recognized as a member and who
accepts the related duties without distinction on the basis of language, race, sex or religion”. The
Constitution establishes, in an original manner, the principle of equality of citizens.
327. The principles of equality of citizens and the prohibition of all forms of discrimination laid down in
the Constitution are important references for respect by individuals of their duties.
328. The possibility of review by an independent body makes it possible to guarantee the rights of others
and ensure compliance with duties deriving from it.
329. Rules on public security, protection of privacy, public decency and daily administrative measures taken
and implemented by the Police ensure that individuals fulfil their duties.
330. Finally, in light of increasing delinquency rates and the lack of civic sense among young people in
particular, and in order to instil in them the values of citizenship, an education programme on building a
culture of peace is being implemented from basic to secondary education.
