President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune
Today, Tuesday, the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, addressed the participants in the activities of the Third International Forum on the role of constitutional oversight in protecting rights and freedoms in Algeria and comparative systems, read by the President of the Constitutional Court, Leila Asalaoui, in which he stressed that Algeria embraces this international legal forum, which has become an annual tradition that reflects the life of the Algerian constitutional judiciary, its openness to global experiences, and its endeavor to build bridges of scientific communication that aim to strengthen the edifice of constitutional justice.
The President of the Republic said: “I am pleased to welcome you, and my country embraces this international legal forum, which has become an annual tradition that reflects the life of the Algerian constitutional judiciary, its openness to global experiences, and its endeavor to build bridges of scientific communication that aim to strengthen the edifice of constitutional justice.”
The President of the Republic added: “The holding of this forum is a renewal of the pledge that we made before the Algerian people to build a state of truth and law, a state whose foundations are based on the absolute sovereignty of the Constitution and the supremacy of its provisions in protecting rights and freedoms, a firm doctrine in the work of all its institutions. A contract that calls for building a state in which no one is oppressed and makes the protection of basic rights and the promotion of freedoms a firm doctrine that runs in the conscience and work of all republican institutions without exception. It is a covenant that derives its spirit from the statement of November 1, 1954, that historical document that restored “The resurrection of the Algerian state as a social democratic state.”
He stressed: “We have committed ourselves, since the historic turning point of amending the Constitution in November 2020, to make the Constitutional Court a pillar of institutional stability and the core of the practice of true democracy.”
The President of the Republic continued: “The path of constitutional and legal reforms in our country is characterized by courage. From these standpoints, the recent partial constitutional amendment came to address some articles in which practical experience and field practice have shown that there are some shortcomings, which necessitated the necessity of intervention to amend these texts to ensure their alignment with the aspirations of society and to avoid any interpretation that might hinder the effectiveness of constitutional institutions or harm the essence of freedoms. It is evidence that our constitution is a living document that develops with the development of the nation and is not satisfied with stagnation.”
