Enhancing Procedural Effectiveness in the Investigation and Inquiry Phase Under Law 25-14 - the Public Prosecution and the Investigating Judge-

Abstract

This intervention aims to shed light on the fundamental transformations introduced by Law No. 25-14, dated August 13, 2025, which represents a qualitative leap in contemporary Algerian criminal policy. The study aims to analyze the new legal mechanisms granted to the Public Prosecution to enhance its role in combating crime effectively, while focusing on the delicate balance that the legislator sought to achieve between ensuring public interest for society and protecting the rights of individuals.

This intervention also addresses the analysis and study of the new provisions related to judicial investigation bodies, and how these amendments contributed to simplifying procedures and shortening legal deadlines in a way that serves the principle of fair trials. Through this research paper, we seek to answer the following problem: To what extent has the new procedural vision adopted by Law 25-14 succeeded in activating the role of criminal justice in the pre-trial phase, and what are the new guarantees for protecting individual liberties in light of these broad powers?
