35 5- Basic and Security Pensions The Great Jamhirya has devoted overriding interest to the provision of full-fledged social protection and care as endorsed in the Social Security Law no (13) for 1980 which is believed to be one of the most up-to-date and distinctive laws in the area of social security, having emphasized in Article (1) that "Social security is a right the community guarantees for all citizens. It is also protection for non-native residents." The same Article has made it clear that social security involves a system specifying any measure that is intended to provide protection and care in cases of old age, disability, illness, work injury, occupation maladies, loss of guardian, disruption of livelihoods, pregnancy and birth-giving, family burdens as well as in cases of disasters, emergencies and death. Social security also covers social care to those who are not sponsored be they children, boys, girls, people with special needs, the disabled, the elderly and juvenile delinquents. It also relates to industrial security measures and procedures, handling with care cases of work injury and occupation maladies, rehabilitation of patients, the injured and the disabled. Family is well attended to through extension of material and moral assistance based on mentioned above legislation. Law no (16) for 1985 on basic pension for citizens (Article 1), the right to basic pension without paying subscriptions in return by those eligible for it, or in other words the protection system in this manner is a pension rather than remuneration system, i.e. the beneficiary of a basic pension fund obtains money that is enough to secure for him a decent life even though he does not pay any subscriptions. Basic pension entitlement is extended to several brackets defined in the law such as: the elderly, the disabled, widows, orphans, families of the provisionally imprisoned, those executing court judgments as well as families of the lost, the absent, the captive, and the released after serving their sentence
