After the establishment of pluralism in 1989, Ali Haroun participated in the creation of the Algerian League for Human Rights (LADH). The LADH, close to power, was initiated in 1987 by General Larbi Belkheir to counter the Algerian League for the Defense of Human Rights (LADDH), independent and non-political, led at the time by Me Ali Yahia Abdennour. On June 18, 1991, he was called by the government of Sid Ahmed Ghozali to the post of Minister Delegate for Human Rights. The day after the electoral victory of the first round of the 1991 legislative elections by the Islamists of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) with 188 seats, the "Januaryist" generals of the Algerian army (ANP) decided, on January 11, 1992, to interrupt the electoral process. Ali Haroun, who supported this decision, was tasked by the "Janviéristes" with drafting President Chadli Bendjedid's resignation letter with Mohammed Touati. After Chadli Bendjedid's resignation, Ali Haroun, one of the five members of the High State Committee, was tasked for the second time by the "Janviéristes" with contacting Mohamed Boudiaf, a historical figure of the war of independence, exiled in Morocco, so that he would accept the "Janviéristes" proposal to take the head of the HCE to lead the country. Mohamed Boudiaf was assassinated six months after his inauguration. In 1995, he was one of the co-founders of the National Republican Alliance (ANR), a party that campaigns for democracy and secularism.
