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

Venezuela

The 1811 "Declaration of Rights, by the Supreme Congress of Venezuela," at Article 24 under the "Rights of Man in Society" section, states: "The house of every Citizen is an inviolable asylum No one has a right to enter it violently, unless in the cases of conflagration, or deluge, or of an application proceeding from the house itself; or for objects of criminal proceedings, in the cases and with the formalities determined by Law, and under the responsibility of the constituted Authorities who have issued the Decree."

Today, privacy is strictly protected in Venezuela, going beyond the call of the ICCPR’s call in Article 17 under constitutional Articles 48 and 60 (Privacy International, “The Right to Privacy in Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of): Stakeholder Report.
