Abstract
In 1999, the ratification and implementation of the "Civil Concord" law was
a positive initiative, aimed at ending the long-standing "Algerian crisis" and ultimately
establishing peace and stability in Algeria. The purpose of the article is to present the
political processes prior to the "Law" towards the settlement of the conflict, which later
became the basis for the adoption of the "Civil Concord" Law. One of the key issues is
to study the positive and negative sides of the "law" and to show the omissions that
undermined the legislative initiative of Algerian President Abd al-Aziz Bouteflika. In
this regard, we consider it essential to present the inattention, sometimes even neglect,
to the problems of ethnic minorities (Berbers, Amazighs) in the process of national
reconciliation, which obviously did not contribute to the process of establishing final
peace in the country. After a description of the historical context, this article examines
the "Civil Concord" law, which had a great impact on the general situation of the
country, as Algeria continues to be in a vulnerable situation in economic and social
spheres.
