Technical services of general department for modernising justice annex to justice ministry managed on May 30 to achieve all technical tests relating to link 36 courts on national level with the Supreme Court. This system aims at allowing citizens living out of the capital Algiers to check the documents they need in court without coming to the city, said the general director of justice modernisation and organisation department, Mr. Abderrazak Henni in a press conference held on May 30 in the head office of the department in Algiers.

According to Mr. Henni, people who constitute a part from a case in court can check their documents in the court located in their region instead of going to the Supreme Court in Algiers.

This way would enable to save money and time especially for those who live in southern Algeria, said Mr. Henni.

According to the same source, this new system consists in the Intranet network and optical fibres. The system will provide new data of any case via a special electronic window in courts that gives information to people and their lawyers.

This technique will provide three important elements:

the follow up of any case in a very fast and precise way,
more secure system and
making the Supreme Court close to citizens, said the same source.

As for the confidentiality of exchanged data in the Intranet, Mr. Henni confirmed that the president of court is the first responsible for the information process between courts on local levels and the Supreme Court.

June 5, 2007 -- The National security department has set up an Intranet system between different police services in addition to a website that includes the activities of the police in fighting crime.

According to an official in the police computer department, Fouzia Kini, police services have been provided with computer networks within the framework of modernising the police.

Different police services of the 48 wilayas (provinces) were linked to each other by a computer network including a database relating to human resources management and all information about police employees, said the same official.

“This new system allows the issuing of any kind of document without going to the head office of the security department,” Kini said.

She also revealed that tickets windows at the international airport of Algiers were provided with modernised computer systems and linked to the general department of national security.

“These measures facilitate the identification of wanted people, for instance,” she added.

The officer indicated that security measures are tight in the room where data is stored. Not all employees are allowed to enter into it. The police computer department has recently linked its different services to 38 courts in Algeria.

In this regard, information is collected, treated and then stored, said officer Sofiane Belhaj.
