TEBBOUNE Abdelkrim

Abstract

Law is a set of rules characterized by generality and abstraction, binding upon those addressed by it. It organizes society, legislated by lawmaker and interpreted by judge.


Given the severity of criminal law rules, which include punitive measures up to imprisonment, it is necessary to establish limits on judicial intervention under what is known as the principle of legality of crimes and punishments.


This study aims to highlight these limits.
