Political Rights of Women between the Empowerment of the Legal Text and the Marginalization of the Actual Reality: Case Study of Algerian Legislation and International Conventions.

Abstract

Algeria provided for a set of legal mechanisms, which would strike a balance in political representation between men and women. Despite all the efforts made to enable women to contribute to the development of society, their political participation has not reached the level of national legislation and international conventions due to many obstacles to their effective implementation. Therefore, the study aims to determine the suitability of legislation with what is enshrined in the actual reality of the political rights of women, and the disclosure of the extent of Algerian legislation cope with what is supported in international conventions on women's political rights. Perhaps this leads us to address the questions posed by the study are: How can the state to consolidate the political rights of women on the ground? What are the mechanisms for protecting these rights under the legal system? Is Algerian legislation in line with what is enshrined and adopted in international conventions and conventions on the political rights of women as an effective component of the overall development of society?
