حماية ذوي الإعاقة من التمييز و خطاب الكراهية وفقا لقواعد القانون الدولي و التشريع الجزائري

Abstract EN

Persons with disabilities are characterized by not having the same physical and mental ability as ordinary people, as a result of having one or more types of disability, which makes them more vulnerable to various manifestations of discrimination, marginalization, contempt and hatred.

From this standpoint, the international community moved by concluding many international conventions, charters and instruments in order to combat and prohibit discrimination and hate speech against this vulnerable group, and to put in place protection mechanisms for them.

And the same approach taken by the Algerian legislator by legalizing and criminalizing acts of discrimination and hate speech under Law 05/20 relating to the prevention and combating of discrimination and hate speech.

This law, which is the first Algerian law that protects the disabled in society, through the formulation of a comprehensive legal framework and effective preventive and deterrent mechanisms based on the consideration of disability as the basis of criminalization.
