Abstract

The protection of acquired rights arising from administrative decisions is one of the fundamental principles in the legal system, ensuring individuals' stability in the rights they have gained through prior administrative decisions. The administrative judiciary is the authority responsible for safeguarding these rights, allowing individuals to challenge any administrative decision that may undermine their acquired rights, whether through revocation or modification. This protection aims to prevent administrative abuse of power and to ensure the stability of individuals' legal situations, thereby reinforcing the principle of legality and the rule of law. Such protection is a cornerstone of the legal state, as it strengthens the principles of legality and justice, balances the relationship between individuals and the administration, and guarantees respect for individuals' rights, shielding them from any violations or abuses. It would be unjust to disregard acquired rights, as this could erode trust in the legal framework, ultimately leading to instability in legal transactions and situations.
