 Abstract :
This article considers that the Algerian penal legislator has used the Peace and Reconciliation Charter as civil legislation to enhance the preventive and repressive dimensions of the antiterrorism criminal law, which makes terrorism a source of expansion of the criminal law system. 
Even though, this situation is not compatible with the constitutional foundations of the national antiterrorism legislation, which reached a very critical level by assigning the «enemy» attribute to the accused suspects by their involvement in terrorist acts.
The main interpretation here is that criminal law is the most powerful legal lethal weapon to fight against terrorist crimes.
However, inquiry shows that this exceeds the criminal system's preventative competency.
On the contrary, given the gravity and brutality of terrorist acts, the penal response is often exaggerated and can be completely inconsistent with regards to the humanitarian dimension and the cultural, religious references of the algerian socity and its constitutional doctrine, which the legislator remedied by including the charter general principles as a parrallel and a complementary line to the preventive and repressive role of the criminal law.
Therefore, the Algerian legislator has invented a unique legal solution system in the domain of antiterrorism criminal laws, which consists of evaluating and setting the critical point of balance between the repressive and preventive proportions of the criminal antiterrorism law in harmonization with the constitutional foundations of human rights through the use of the Peace and Reconciliation Charter.
