الرقابة على الحالات الاستثنائية في ظل التعديل الدستوري لسنة 2020

Abstract EN

The Algerian Constitution of 1996 provided for four exceptional states, which were listed exclusively: State of emergency, state of siege, exceptional situation and state of war.

Given the discretionary power of the President of the Republic to declare such states, and his broad powers to take the necessary measures to conduct them, It has been restricted by a number of formal and substantive conditions.

This is a guarantee of rights and freedoms that are more vulnerable to violation in such circumstances, as Compared to normal circumstances.

The 2020 constitutional amendment retained these four states, with amendments to its terms, This constitutes more guarantees of rights and freedoms under exceptional circumstances but remains insufficient.
