Keywords:
Constitutional Court; formation; competencies; independence; exemption of constitutionality.
Abstract
The constitutional amendment of 2020 brought about many reforms, primarily the establishment of the Constitutional Court as an independent constitutional institution responsible for ensuring the respect of the constitutional document. The Constitutional Court replaced the Constitutional Council, which was established by the previous Algerian constitutions starting from that of 1963 to that of 2016, except for the constitution of 1976 which did not provide for the establishment of an institution to guarantee the supremacy of the constitutional document. This study evaluates the constitutional reforms that affected the constitutional body responsible for control over the constitutionality of laws, regarding their form and competency.
