International and National Consumer Protection in the Electronic Environment –Algerian system

Abstract

Consumer rights, particularly those of electronic consumers, are among the most significant rights that experts have focused on, as they are closely linked to societal development and represent a key requirement of the modern era. This is especially relevant in light of the information revolution that has swept the world and the recent global circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly accelerated the expansion of e-commerce.Within the framework of the digital economy, the need for enhanced safety and security measures for electronic consumers has become increasingly evident. This requires a thorough examination of the potential risks they may face in digital transactions and an exploration of effective protective measures. Many legal systems worldwide have adopted this approach, aiming to establish the necessary legal protection for electronic consumers, given their lack of sufficient and essential information regarding the goods or services offered to them online.
