Challenges of judicial independence in Algeria

Abstract

Investigating the concept of judicial independence in Algeria involves more than just examining a controversial issue; it requires an objective analysis of the relationship between the judiciary and the executive authority, represented by the President of the Republic, and the extent to which the judiciary is subordinate to the executive. Addressing the limitations of the judiciary is essential to justify the need for a relationship between the executive and judicial branches. To elaborate on these boundaries, it is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of the judicial system itself, including an assessment of its legal frameworks, as well as evaluating the judiciary from material and moral perspectives. Furthermore, it is important to evaluate the professionalism and independence of judges, who are a fundamental and active element in this equation.
