Tunisia and the Human Rights Council
Six international human rights organizations issued a call to the United Nations Human Rights Council, urging member states to raise concerns about the situation in Tunisia. They highlighted growing fears over the decline of judicial independence, restrictions on freedoms, and human rights violations. The organizations pointed to a deterioration in legal guarantees following July 25, 2021, including the dismissal of judges, economic issues, and challenges in the media sector, along with criticism of the use of the Electronic Crimes Decree 54 to target activists and journalists. Meanwhile, Tunisia asserts that freedoms are being respected and laws are being upheld, claiming that the criticisms do not reflect reality. They also clarified that the document is not an official stance of the Human Rights Council but rather an invitation to discuss the issue during the upcoming session. The Tunisian situation is expected to be a key topic of international debate at the September 2026 session, amid differing assessments between the international human rights evaluations and the official Tunisian response.
