Algeria: 5th and 6th Periodic Reports, 2010-2014
Algeria signed the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on 10 April 1984 and ratified the same on 1 March 1987. Algeria presented its initial periodic report at the 19th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights held in April 1996 in Ouagadougou and presented its second periodic report at the 29th Ordinary Session of the Commission held in Tripoli. The third and fourth periodic reports were presented at the 42nd Ordinary Session of the Commission held in November 2007 in Brazzaville.
During the presentation of Algeria’s third and fourth periodic reports, the Algerian delegation underscored the progress made since the presentation of the second periodic report in the areas of consolidating democracy and strengthening the rule of law. The progress made included institutional reforms and strengthening democratic freedoms (justice sector reforms).
