What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?

Cameroon

Articles 11 and 12 of the 1947 Constitution contain privacy guarantees. According to Article 11, "The domicile is inviolable. No one may get in except in the cases specified by the Law and according to the forms it prescribes." Article 12 refers to privacy of written materials as well: "The secrecy of letters is inviolable, temporary derogations being explicitly provided for by the Law when the higher interest of the Nation makes it necessary."

The 1993 constitution contains privacy rights in Article 40: “The rights to privacy of residence, and to the confidentiality of correspondence by mail, telegram, fax, telex and telephone, shall be guaranteed” (Office of the Council of the Ministers of Cambodia, “Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia”).
