المسؤولية القانونية المترتبة عن إفشاء السر الوظيفي للموظف العام

Abstract

"Maintaining professional confidentiality is considered a fundamental duty of all state employees, aiming to protect both public and private interests from any harm. The holder of the confidential information has no right to disclose it to others. However, certain professions require access to confidential information the core of this obligation lies in preventing public employees from disclosing entrusted information. To ensure this, the Algerian legislator has guaranteed the protection of professional confidentiality and imposed penalties on anyone who violates this obligation, whether a public employee or a professional. This reflects the necessity of mutual trust. Violating this obligation may result in disciplinary sanctions which could extend to criminal or civil liability to compensate affected parties Nevertheless, exceptions are provided that allow the disclosure of confidential information to serve the public interest without legal accountability, thereby eliminating liability for breaching professional confidentiality."
