Justice: Algeria’s interest in human, peoples’ rights underlined

In an address at the opening of the works, Tabi affirmed, that by hosting this African event for one month, Algeria “proves its faithfulness to its regional and international commitments in terms of human rights, enshrined in different relevant international conventions.”

“Through its legal and judicial structures, Algeria continues to translate the contents of these texts in its national procedural and substantive laws, by adjusting to the international changes in terms of protecting human beings against anything that can infringe their basic rights,” he said.

Joining this African mechanism, added Tabi, mirrors the national conviction that enshrining human and peoples’ rights requires the implementation of a suitable judicial protection likely to ensure these rights in case of violation or denial.

The minister also stressed that the objective is “to establish the legal and judicial security, as two main catalysts for peace and security in the world,” adding that “Algeria makes sure, since the independence, to voice and stress the importance of the joint action and of the regional and international cooperation in terms of the respect and promotion of human rights.”

In this regard, Tabi hailed the African Court, President, magistrates, executives and employees, for their “efforts to protect human and peoples’ rights in Africa,” adding that this Court “has become, with merit, a judicial benchmark and a noble symbol for the whole humanity in the defense of just causes, and whose professionalism is an asset and a source of pride for this continental judicial body.”
