e) Protection of privacy (article 10) e1. Administrative, legislative and judicial measures: Article 20 of the Constitution establishes the principle of the inviolability of the home. The same article forbids entry or search, peremptory questioning and arrest without compliance with legal prescriptions. Thus, sections 51, 52 and 54 of the criminal procedure code state the legal conditions to be met. The Penal Code provides for and punishes arbitrary arrests and unlawful confinement under sections 265, 266, 267 and 268. Violation of the home is prevented and punished by section 271 thereof. Article 16 of CRC protects the child against all forms of meddling in his private life, family, home and correspondence as well as all illegal injuries to his character. e2. Limitations : Respect of this right in the family is constantly violated. In fact in some families, parents suppose that the child has no private life and feel they must always have an eye on him for his own good. f) Protection against child abuse and maltreatment (art. 16): f1. Administrative, legislative and judicial measures: Article 12 of the Constitution forbids all cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, torture and slavery. The protection of these rights is enshrined in article 37 of the CRC. Ordinance No. 99-11 of 14 May 1999 related to the creation, composition and organization of juvenile courts, in its article 10 dealing with protection, stipulates that: "Whenever the health, security or morality of a minor of 18 years are in peril or if the conditions of his education are jeopardized, the juvenile court or judge shall be competent to hear the matter". Article 19 of the same ordinance stipulates measures of placement and educative assistance. The Penal Code cracks down on all offences committed against children. Thus, sections 278 and 280 punish the misdemeanour and felony of sexual molestation committed with or without violence on minors below 13. It also punishes the kidnapping, unlawful keeping, suppression, and substitution of child, the forcible abduction of a child by a guardian (section 248 to 250), the abandonment of a child or a mentally incapable person (253 and 254) and the enticement of child (sections 255 to 258). Corporal punishment – which violates the physical integrity of the child – is forbidden in schools. However, this practice persists within families where children are severely chastised with whatever object readily comes to hand, if it is not by torture. Associative bodies use awareness campaigns to draw parents‟ attention to the negative consequences of such practices as a means to ending them. 18
