The applicable law to unilateral obligations under Algerian law

Abstract

This article examines the issue of the governing law applicable to unilateral obligations. This subject warrants scholarly investigation given the Algerian legislature’s silence on the matter, particularly at a time when unilateral will has become established as a general source of obligation. The article concludes that the conflict-of-law rules pertaining to contractual obligations should be applied to obligations arising from unilateral will, subject to necessary modifications to accommodate the specific nature of unilateral acts
