Truth and Dignity Commission (Tunisia)

The Truth and Dignity Commission (Arabic: هيئة الحقيقة والكرامة, romanized: Hai'at ul-Ḥaqiqa wul-Karāma; French: Instance Vérité et Dignité) is an independent tribunal established by law in Tunisia on 23 December 2013 and formally launched on 9 June 2014 by then-President Moncef Marzouki. Established following the Tunisian Revolution, its purpose is to investigate gross human rights violations committed by the Tunisian State since 1955 and to provide compensation and rehabilitation to victims. The Commission was given a four-year mandate (i.e. to 2018) with the possibility of a one-year extension. Its president is the human rights activist Sihem Bensedrine.
