Citizenship Education Manual

By Bienvenu Doudou ALINYAY UKUNYA

This article concerns the repression of abortion under Congolese and Belgian law. The aim is to find out the elements of the prosecutions as well as its constituent elements in comparative law. Legal positivism as a method supported by media publications has made it possible to interpret the different normative sources in the two States. The constant has been that abortion is a criminal act for all the nations concerned, except that prosecutions are initiated differently under the legality of penalties and offences. They are flexible in Belgian law and rigid in Congolese law deeply inspired by customs, religion and international treaties on the sacredness of the right to life.Hence, it is important for the Congolese legislator to adapt its legislation to scientific developments, to protect the right to life without expecting to violate other human rights, to define a model for popularizing laws and to take a series of actions to combat this practice, which is growing in our societies.
