Independence of the audiovisual regulatory authority: a study in light of law 23-20

Abstract EN

The Algerian legislator explicitly emphasizes the independence of the audiovisual regulatory authority as an independent administrative authority.

this independence distinguishes it from other classic entities in the state, granting it organic and functional independence recognized by law.

this means that the authority is not subject to any administrative or supervisory authority, but a closer examination of the legal texts regulating the audiovisual regulatory authority as an entity entrusted with regulating the audiovisual sector reveals that this independence is relative.

this raises several questions and interpretations about the effectiveness of this independence, both organically and functionally.

this interpretation is primarily attributed to financial and administrative considerations practiced by the executive authority, which makes it relatively subordinate to the executive authority.

this aspect will be highlighted in this research paper.
