Abstract

The Algerian constitutional amendment of 2020 resulted in a series of reforms, most notably the establishment of the Constitutional Court, which was entrusted with a range of newly defined powers, chief among them being interpretive jurisdiction. This jurisdiction aims to eliminate ambiguity and conflict within constitutional texts and to outline the path for the legislative process, implementation, and law application.
The Algerian Constitutional Court has fulfilled its assigned role during the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, issuing a series of opinions based on notifications from constitutionally designated entities. It has utilized both internal and external resources to understand the true intent of the legislator while adhering to the spirit of the constitutional text and preserving it. This serves as a fundamental support for expanding the powers of the Constitutional Court.
