Reconciliation in general and mediation in particular result in the consolidation of social peace and the removal of resentment and hatred between members of the same community. The Algerian legislator was interested in measures of a conciliatory nature, as he devoted an entire chapter to mediation. Mediation does not detract from the value of the judicial authority, as it is conducted under its supervision and control. It also saves time, effort and price for the offender and the victim, and for justice to take care of the most complex cases.
