Using a qualitative research approach, the chapter analyses legislative frameworks and institutional structures in Tunisia to offer insights into the difficulties of fighting corruption in a transitional country.

摘要

It was anticipated that Tunisia’s 2011 upheavals and the subsequent transitional period would present a chance for the nation to further its human rights policies. The interplay between the defence of human rights and the battle against corruption was one of the key factors defining the post-uprising period in the country. This chapter examines the volatile history of post-uprising Tunisia and highlights the consequences of the Arab Spring on the fight against corruption and human rights protection. Three significant points will be covered: the legal framework and State-established bodies, including the Truth and Dignity Commission (TDC) and National Anti-corruption Body (INLUCC), the citizen-founded civil society organisations, including Manish Msemah (I will not forgive) and IWatch, and the politicians’ instrumentalisation of the fight against corruption. Using a qualitative research approach, the chapter analyses legislative frameworks and institutional structures in Tunisia to offer insights into the difficulties of fighting corruption in a transitional country. The chapter examines the challenges and successes of Tunisia’s combat with corruption, providing a viewpoint on the evolving dynamics of corruption during the country’s transition and its consequences for the country’s human rights landscape.
