Abstract

In Tunisia, dignity is more than just a principle––it is an ideal which reflects a certain conception of life in society, an overall objective of State responsibility. Dignity is expressly recognised in the 2014 Constitution, as well in other instruments and texts relating to welfare and health, both explicitly and implicitly. But despite this recognition, dignity does not have much practical effect: it cannot yet found an action for compensation.
