Algerian lawmakers have underscored the crucial role of law in safeguarding national security and stability. According to Azzouz Nasseri, head of the Council of the Nation, the law remains the legitimate and decisive weapon against those who threaten Algeria's security and stability. He made these remarks following the approval of two laws related to military justice and penalties. Nasseri emphasized that the safety of citizens is a "red line" and protecting society is the state's responsibility.
Nasseri highlighted the significance of the law in maintaining social order and preventing crimes. He noted that the proposed amendments to the penal code, which include the reintroduction of the death penalty for certain crimes such as arson and child abuse, aim to protect society and enhance deterrence. The law, he said, will ensure that those who target the security of society will not be spared, and citizens' lives and properties will be safeguarded.
The amendments to the penal code are a response to the evolving needs of society and the rise of serious crimes, Nasseri said. He stressed that the goal is to increase prevention and ensure that the law is enforced fairly. The law will also provide a framework for the protection of children and the punishment of those who commit crimes against them.
The law on military justice has also been amended to reflect the changes in the country's constitution and the reforms undertaken by Algeria. Nasseri described this law as a necessary step to ensure that the military is subject to the rule of law. The updated law aims to demonstrate that the strength of the military is linked to the strength of the law and that the institution is committed to upholding the principles of justice.
The head of the Council of the Nation also emphasized the importance of the military's role in maintaining national security. He noted that the military's strength and the state's authority are inextricably linked to the rule of law. The updated law on military justice is a reflection of the government's commitment to upholding the principles of justice and protecting the rights of citizens.
The approval of these laws is seen as a significant step in Algeria's efforts to enhance national security and stability. The laws aim to provide a framework for the protection of citizens and the punishment of those who commit crimes. The government has emphasized its commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of citizens.
The laws will come into effect once they are published in the official gazette. The government has assured citizens that the laws will be enforced fairly and that the rights of all citizens will be protected. The approval of these laws marks a significant step in Algeria's efforts to enhance national security and stability.
