تصديق الجزائر بتحفط على اتفاقية سيداو التزام بلاتفاقيات الدولية وحفاظ على الخصوصية الوطنية

Abstract

This research examines Algeria's ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the resulting reservations to some of its provisions. It also studies the compatibility of these reservations with national legislation and their impact on protecting women's rights. The research addresses the challenge of reconciling international obligations with legislative sovereignty and constitutional and social specificities. It highlights the importance of this topic in light of the ongoing legal and human rights debate surrounding the limits of Algeria's reservations, particularly given the renewed controversy surrounding them in 2025. The researcher adopted a descriptive and analytical approach, dividing the study into two chapters: the first on the Convention, its objectives, and mechanisms, and the second on Algeria's reservations and their impact on implementation. The research concludes that while Algeria ratified the Convention, it maintained reservations concerning articles related to nationality, legal equality, family rights, marriage and divorce, and guardianship. It also reveals that some of these reservations have been reduced or amended over time, while others continue to limit the practical effectiveness of the Convention. The research concludes that strengthening the protection of women's rights in Algeria requires continued alignment of national legislation with international standards, along with a gradual and deliberate review of existing reservations.
