On the occasion of the Association Council Meeting between Tunisia and the EU within the framework of the Barcelona Process, November 16, 1999, this report aims at drawing attention to the state of liberties and human rights in Tunisia.
This is not an exhaustive report. It is not an inventory of violations against human rights and freedoms. It is a collection of facts which seek to answer the following questions: are the obligations of the State of Tunisia, which has ratified nearly all international human rights treaties and conventions, being respected generally ? Is the obligation contracted to by the Tunisian Government in article 2 of the Association Agreement with the 15 States of the European Union with regard to respect for democratic principles and human rights being respected generally ?
In order to answer these questions, the report reviews the situation of fundamental liberties and basic human rights during recent times.
