period and the remaining ones before the end of 2014. Article 23: Peoples’ Right to International Peace and Security 387. The Algerian Constitution, in Article 28, has assigned the Algerian diplomacy the mission of working towards "the reinforcement of international cooperation and for the development of amicable relations between States based on equality and mutual interest and non-interference in internal affairs". Algerian diplomacy has always worked towards peace and the resolution of crisis situations, peaceful resolution of disputes and the promotion of the values of peace and national reconciliation. 388. At the regional level, Algeria has continually supported efforts by the African Union towards the resolution of regional conflicts, the conduct of mediation missions and good offices seeking to establish a stable climate and to promote good neighbourliness, which are fundamental elements in the success of development efforts on the continent. Article 24: Peoples’ right to a satisfactory environment 389. Since environmental issues and their repercussions on public life and on citizens have taken on a wider dimension and have become unavoidable concerns for public authorities, lots of provisions and regulatory and/or legislative decisions were projected and implemented in order to regulate relations between the various social actors and the environment.

Management of the environment is based on the organisation of the information system on the definition of environmental standards, on planning, evaluation of the environmental impacts of development projects, on the definition of specific legal regimes and on intervention, individuals and associations regarding environmental protection. The law institutes prescriptions for the protection of biological diversity, the air and the atmosphere, waters and desert locations in the sea and the living environment. It also institutes prescriptions for the protection against nuisance (chemical substances and noise pollution). 393.
