Individual Freedoms and Equality in Tunisia between the Pacte Fondamental De 1857 and Human Rights Texts

Abstract

Based on the 2017-18 project by the Individual Freedoms and Equality Committee in Tunisia, this research traces the subsequent legislative trajectory followed by Tunisia since the mid-nineteenth century. It highlights the historical political and jurisprudential foundations on which the project is based, framing the ongoing debate in Tunisia on this project in the context of historical legal reform. The study thus seeks to understand the dimensions of the development of individual freedoms in Tunisia - both internally and externally - as a policy and a demand despite the faltering establishment of democracy.
