The role of the judiciary in resolving the plea of unconstitutionality under Organic Law 22-19

Abstract

The Algerian constitutional founder, under the 2020 amendment, enshrined the right of individuals to access the Constitutional Court in a manner that guarantees their constitutionally protected rights, as stipulated in the provisions of Organic Law 22-19. This was achieved by involving the judiciary, both lower and higher courts, through a process known as "filtering," aimed at preventing the Constitutional Court from being overwhelmed with frivolous cases via the mechanism of raising a constitutional objection. The study aims to explore the limits of judicial jurisdiction through the filtering process, in a procedure
originally assigned to the Constitutional Court as an independent institution responsible for ensuring respect for the Constitution .
