Child protection from the risk of child sexual exploitation via the Internet in Algerian law

Abstract

No one of us can deny the role that modern information media have played in the prosperity and development of all aspects of life, whether economic, social or cultural, but in contrast, technology, especially the Internet, which criminal gangs have exploited for their deviant leanings, has shown no distinction between adults and minors. The Internet has become the greatest threat to our children, whether morally, health or psychologically.

This is the danger that most countries have tried to address and try to protect children from being victimized by the development of a strict legal system to protect them, the Algerian legal system, which has achieved a qualitative but somewhat delayed leap, was the promulgation of Act No. 15/12 on the protection of children, especially children in danger and there is no more serious risk of sexual exploitation on the Internet in all its forms.

This is why we will look at two key points in this article:

- The most important images of child sexual exploitation online.

- The Legal mechanisms to protect him from such exploitation in Algerian law.
