The oversight of the constitutionality of laws as a mechanism for guaranteeing freedoms and rights according to the 2020 constitutional amendment in Algeria

Abstract

This study aims to explore the importance of the Constitutional Court and its role in overseeing the constitutionality of laws. The constitutional amendment of 2020 introduced a new approach in this regard, by establishing a Constitutional Court in place of the Constitutional Council. Much is expected from this court in terms of ensuring the constitutionality of laws. This can only be achieved through effective oversight that protects rights and freedoms and builds a state of law, utilizing a range of political and judicial oversight mechanisms and institutions that serve as a deterrent and ensure respect for the fundamental principles of the constitution.
