THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED CONSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM FOR PREVENTION AND COMBATING CORRUPTION IN THE ALGERIAN CONSTITUTION OF 2020 AND LEGAL TEXTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
As stated in the preamble of the constitutional amendment for the year 2020, the Algerian state has been and continues to be committed to preventing and combating corruption. To achieve this goal, it has worked on enhancing its efforts in this field and establishing a conducive environment for public life and combating various forms of corruption. This was achieved through the introduction of a new mechanism, in place of the National Authority for the Prevention of Corruption, known as the Supreme Authority for Transparency and Corruption Prevention. This mechanism aligns with the provisions of international agreements ratified by Algeria regarding the prevention and combating of corruption. Subsequently, the legal text regulating this authority was issued, encompassing its various powers and strengthening its essential role in promoting transparency and preventing corruption at both domestic and international levels.
