THE ALGERIAN APPROACH TO TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE IN LIGHT OF THE NATIONAL RECONCILIATION LAW
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Algerian approach to transitional justice in light of the National Reconciliation Law has a particular importance in light of the current international, regional, and even local situation, which has resulted in the consolidation of this discourse in the current political and legal literature. It also constituted the great challenge that faced the Algerian experience in order to gain acceptance at the domestic and international levels, as many specialists consider the Algerian experience a new and special approach in dealing with the terrorist phenomenon.
