Children belonging to minorities 83. The Committee regrets the lack of information in the report about the compliance of the State party with its obligations concerning the rights guaranteed under article 30 of the Convention with regard to children belonging to minorities. The Committee notes that according to the Algerian Constitution, the fundamental components of Algerian identity are “Islam, Arabité and Amazighité”. However, it is concerned that the existing domestic laws and policies do not adequately preserve and promote the Amazigh identity of children, including their right to use their own language. 84. In light of article 30 of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party continue and strengthen its efforts to protect and promote the identity and the rights of the Amazigh children, including by allocating adequate human and financial resources for the teaching of the Amazigh language, Tamazight, in schools. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that the State party provide more detailed information in its next periodic report on the implementation of article 30 of the Convention on children belonging to minorities. 8. Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child 85. The Committee recommends that the State party ratify the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, and on the involvement of children in armed conflict. 9. Follow-up and dissemination Follow-up 86. The Committee recommends that the State party take all appropriate measures to ensure full implementation of the present recommendations, inter alia by transmitting them to the members of the Cabinet of Ministers, the National People’s Assembly and the Council of the Nation (the Parliament), and to the provincial (wilaya)- and municipal (baladia)-level administration, when applicable, for appropriate consideration and further action. Dissemination 87. The Committee further recommends that the second periodic report and the written replies submitted by the State party, and the related recommendations
