Amnesty International on Monday has reiterated its objection to Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's decree on a “Draft Charter for Peace and National Reconciliation.” "The lack of any commitment to investigate the grave abuses committed during Algeria’s internal conflict raises serious concerns that proposed measures will perpetuate a climate of impunity and ultimately encourage further abuses in Algeria," Amnesty said in its press statement.
In April, Amnesty International and four other major international human rights organizations called on the Algerian authorities to uphold the right of all victims of serious human rights abuses to truth, justice and reparation in any plan for “national reconciliation”.
