Abstract

The Algerian legislator addressed the protection of intangible cultural heritage through Law No. 98 04 dated June 15, 1998, concerning the protection of cultural heritage. Additionally, the legislator issued decrees and executive decisions to implement the protection and guarantee of intangible cultural heritage. The enhancement and assurance of this protection required the ratification of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, adopted in Paris on October 17,2003. Moreover, the legislator provided for the bodies responsible for preserving and protecting intangible heritage, reflecting both local and international protection of intangible cultural heritage.
