Abstract

This policy brief discusses the post-revolutionary Tunisian context and its association with violent extremism. As well, it examines the new Tunisian Constitution and anti-terrorism laws, and focuses on the importance of reforming the legal and judicial system in order to guarantee and protect human rights for all people. The establishment of comprehensive and fair judicial and legal systems will help protect young people from recruitment to radical terrorist organizations and strengthen efforts to reintegrate radicalized youth back into society. Youth engagement is at the core of any strategies to counter and prevent violent extremism and organized crime.
