On the brink of Justice

Through the "On the brink of Justice" podcast, consisting of six episodes, we delve into the facts and realities of the judicial system and its relationship with the citizens and the executive branch. From there, we examine the length of litigation, infrastructure, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the relationship between judges and law enforcement. The podcast will also address the recent dismissals of certain judges and the publication of new texts covering the functioning of the judiciary, such as the new constitution in its fifth chapter, which deals with the judicial function and the law on criminal reconciliation.

EPISODE 3

Code of criminal procedure, condemning freedom to the guillotine

Tunisia's criminal justice system has been under heavy criticism, as it is often accused of empowering the executive, denying citizens access to fair trials that guarantee their rights and dignity, and presuming their innocence until proven guilty.
EPISODE 2

A dilapidated infrastructure, a crippled judiciary

In this session, fingers are pointed at the dilapidated infrastructure of the Tunisian courts and the training system of judges, which are accused of taking part in the crime of obstructing the course of justice and reducing its effectiveness, due to their multiple shortcomings and failures.
EPISODE 1

A right lost in time

Some of the accusations currently hanging over the Tunisian justice system include the delay in ruling on cases and the continuous postponement of the restitution of rights to their holders in a never-ending cycle of procedures whose duration remains unspecified, thus undermining the effectiveness of justice for litigants and shaking their trust in it.
