حماية الحقوق الاسرية للطفل في القانون الجزائري

Abstract

he protection of children’s rights is considered one of the most significant issues addressed by the Algerian legislator, given the child’s vulnerable status and need for comprehensive legal protection of both personal and financial rights. This study examines the various forms of protection established under the Algerian Family Code, particularly the child’s right to filiation and the traditional and scientific methods of proving it, including DNA testing. It also addresses the protection granted to children considering modern medical techniques such as artificial insemination, in addition to the legal provisions governing custody and kafala as essential mechanisms for childcare and protection. The study further analyzes the legal safeguards relating to the child’s financial rights through the regulation of maintenance and inheritance, as well as the role of legal guardianship in preserving the minor’s property. It also highlights the judicial supervision exercised by the Family Affairs Judge over financial transactions involving minors. The study concludes that the Algerian legislator has established an integrated legal framework aimed at ensuring the best interests of the child, drawing its principles from Islamic Sharia and international conventions on children’s rights, thereby providing comprehensive legal protection for children.
