Public Independent Authorities In Algerian Law

Authors : Zouaïmia Rachid . Aiden Razika .

Abstract

After experiencing the insertion of independent administrative authorities in the institutional landscape, Algerian law is enriched by a new category of bodies established as part of the reforms undertaken following the revision of the Constitution in 2020: it is the category of public independent authorities which includes the Independent National Authority for Elections and the High Authority for transparency, prevention and fight against corruption, whose creation by constitutional means gives them all their specificity. It remains however that it is permissible to doubt their efficiency because of the fiction of the independence which they are endowed with and their insertion into a political system impervious to the political reforms which dictate the requirements of the governance and the Rule of Law.
