The Issue of Vacant Property After Algeria's Independence in 1962

This paper deals with the issue of vacant properties resulting from the mass migration of European settlers after Algeria's independence, leaving behind their properties, lands and real estate.This situation created a reality that the young Algerian state did not take into account, especially since this state had resolved this issue within the framework of the Evian agreements in 1962 following the cessation of hostilities with texts guaranteeing the rights of these settlers agreed upon by the French and Algerian parties.Therefore, Algeria tried to enact a set of laws and legislations and adapt them to protect and organize these vacant properties in order to serve the state's economic interests.
