development of the regional human and peoples’ rights protection and promotion system, the
essence of which is to meet the expectations and concerns of African peoples by looking at the
realities of the Continent.
It is working towards the implementation of the provisions by harmonizing its domestic
legislation and its compliance with the African Charter by supporting the adaptation of the
legislative and regulatory instruments through relevant actions and measures on the ground,
both in the area of promotion and protection.
Regarding promotion, all the relevant sectors and the National Human Rights Promotion and
Protection Advisory Committee ensure the dissemination of the provisions of the Charter.
Regarding protection, the Algerian legislation and the measures derived from it, have constantly
broadened the space for effective enjoyment of human and peoples’ rights.
It is in the spirit of the full accession to the Charter that this report has been prepared. Its
presentation is the result of the determination of the Algerian Government to develop its
cooperation with the Commission and to provide any additional information or response to
questions that the latter may deem necessary to ask.
