Justice and Accountability newsletters

A victim-centered, research-driven analysis of global justice efforts—and why it matters for fighting impunity in Tunisia.

Tunisia’s justice process continues to face significant challenges: from stalled judicial proceedings and limited transparency, to increasing restrictions on civic space. 

Accountability mechanisms remain under pressure, while victims of past human rights violations continue to demand truth, justice, and reparations in an increasingly constrained environment.

The Justice & Accountability newsletters provide a victim-centred monitoring and advocacy platform to showcase global developments in justice and accountability. These are accompanied with research-backed and legal analysis on why these matter for the fight against impunity in Tunisia.

This series maintains attention on victims’ rights, accountability obligations, and the functioning of justice mechanisms while contributing to coordinated, evidence-based advocacy by civil society actors.

Issue #1

In this issue, explore selected global developments in practice, including: climate justice as pathways for claiming rights, parallel mechanisms for accountability beyond criminal prosecutions, and the role courts play as both instruments and constraints of power. We analyse why these global shifts matter for the fight against impunity in Tunisia.

This issue compiles key developments from big-picture reports, accountability breakthroughs (Rodrigo Duterte at the ICC, Vanuatu pushes climate obligations, extraterritorial jurisdiction over Gaza genocide, special tribunal for Ukraine) and setbacks, and escalating threats. Together, these support informed reflection and strategy for Tunisian justice.

Issue #3

In a global moment marked by selective application of human rights standards, civil society-led justice efforts and resistance continue to adapt and persist despite further attempts at repressing civic space. Issue #3 covers accountability debates for historical harms, advances in gender justice, and what these developments mean for Tunisia.

Issue #4

This month's issue reveals a global pattern of adaptive authoritarianism. Net trends point to shrinking civic space from China to Burkina Faso, the human cost of armed conflict, eroded trust in institutions, and persistent impunity and stagnation in justice processes despite high-profile judicial steps.
