He also declared that the route to democracy and a law abiding state was long and sinuous that requires wisdom, patience and a sustainable work.
• The president went on saying that Algeria has facilitated its integration into the International Constitutional Movement in the sense that a law abiding state is not an abstract notion as it has to be accompanied by appropriate measures to concretize it on the terrain.
• M Abdelaziz Bouteflika considers that the Constitutional Council plays a cardinal role in guaranteeing the individual rights which are considered as the pillars of Democratic practices.
• Though recently created in comparison with the other legal institutions elsewhere, the Algerian Constitutional Council is diversifying its specialities and enlarging its scope of activities, the president added.
