Tunisia’s President, Kais Saied, has instigated and set in motion a process aimed at replacing the country’s existing consensus-based 2014 constitution in a way that is devoid of any legal basis, democratic legitimacy, inclusivity, accountability and transparency.
Tunisian President Kais Saied dealt a deep blow to judicial independence on June 1, 2022, by granting himself, via decree, absolute power to fire judges summarily, and by promptly dismissing 57 judges, 10 rights groups said today.
The President’s decision to unilaterally dismiss 57 judges is an affront to the rule of law and judicial independence in Tunisia and must be reversed, said the International Commission of Jurists today.
Nine months after his power grab, Tunisian President Kais Saied has managed to dismantle the rule of law and all checks and balances on his authoritarian rule, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) said today.
On 30 March 2022, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) made a submission to the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review, addressing worrying developments in Tunisia and proposing appropriate recommendations.
