Abstract

Algeria witnessed a change in the body responsible for overseeing the constitutionality of laws after the constitutional amendment of 2020, where the Constitutional Court replaced the Constitutional Council, and was entrusted with the task of overseeing the constitutionality of laws. This shift aims to establish judicial control over the constitutionality of laws and impose certain controls on the Court to perform its supervisory role, which is initiated by specific entities notifying the Court. The Algerian constitutional founder determined the entities that have the right to notify the Constitutional Court, as specified in Articles 193 and 195 of the Algerian constitutional amendment of 2020. Notification can be direct or indirect, through referral from the Supreme Court or the Council of State, when one of the parties involved in a trial claims before a judicial entity that the legislative or regulatory judgment on which the outcome of the dispute depends violates their rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution .
