Algeria today signed the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The two International Covenants on Human Rights were adopted by the General Assembly on 16 December 1966 in resolution 2200 (XXI). The two Covenants, when they enter into force, will require the states parties to them to implement the rights and freedoms proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
