48 integration of child soldiers. Currently, it is the DDR project which takes care of the de-mobilization of child soldiers. Let us recall here that the Periodic Report on the Convention on the Rights of the Child has just been presented in the month of September 2010. To protect Elderly persons, a National Institute for Social Security (I.N.S.S) has been created. This Institute manages the retirement benefits and professional hazards for contracted staff. Nonetheless, it should be emphasized that the Elderly persons who are not public servants deserve special attention. The Disabled also do not receive assistance for there is no special treatment reserved for the disabled, but nonetheless there is some hope for them for currently the Ministry for National Solidarity takes care of issues concerning them. This same Ministry is preparing to submit a special law to the Council of Ministers in relation to the Disabled, and in the near future it is hoped that they will receive special treatment. Article 19: The Right to equality before the law All peoples shall be equal; they shall enjoy the same respect and shall have the same rights. Nothing shall justify the domination of a people by another. Everybody knows that the Burundian people had been colonised by the Europeans as was the case with several African countries. On the 1st July 1962, Burundi became independent and recovered its dignity. Since then Burundi has not been dominated by any country and it does not dominate any country. All Burundians enjoy State benefits in the same manner. The Government of Burundi, by Decree-Law n° 1/19 of 30 June 1977 abolished the Institution of Ubugererwa which subjected a certain category of citizens to land dependence. Unfortunately this abolition measure has not benefitted all the social classes, for numerous Batwa continue to provide free labour in families which use them as remuneration not only in kind but also as highly insufficient money. Up to date some administrative authorities have tried to solve this problem of lack of land for the Batwa but major sections of this ethnic group remain without real estate. Out of 20,155 Batwa households surveyed across the entire country, 85.3% of the Batwa households have real estate and 14.7% of the Batwa households live under the Ubugererwa Institution, namely that they are established on a property over which they have only precarious possession.
