79 C- Freedom Promotion Law no.20/1991: Guided by international instruments and covenants on human rights and basic freedoms and based on the Great Green Human Rights Charter in the Era of the Masses, this Law has been issued to have its articles expressly pinned, in detail, on fundamental principles embraced in the Green Charter, noting that such rights are not subject to prescription or prejudice and may be waived. The Law stresses that its provisions are fundamental and nothing that is in contravention with it may be issued. It rather mandates amendment of whatever is deemed in conflict. 2-Ordinary Legislation (Civil, Commercial and Criminal) A battery of civil, commercial and criminal laws regulates relations among individuals and between the latter and government and private agencies. These laws are principally inferred from French and Italian codes alongside some Islamic Law (Shari'a) stipulations. Albeit the fact that these laws are relatively modern if compared to those applicable in other countries, it has become necessary to reconsider them in keeping with national and global developments. Therefore, committees, numbering 14, were formed to reconsider key legislation and review laws (civil – commercial – proceedings – criminal procedure – Penal Code – labor and civil service – State financial system – administrative structuring – foreign investment – education – health – judicature – oil and others). Several laws were issued to this effect, including: Commercial Law that fell in 1660 articles and Laws on Labor Relations, Investment, Education, Health, Financial Leasing, Real Estate Registration, Taxation, Customs, Illegal Migration, and Nationality. The General Organization for Investment was also established. A good many of laws are still under study.
