In fact, the actual process of transitional justice in Tunisia revealed numerous tensions and conflicts. In Tunisia, as in South Africa and the former Soviet Union, transitional justice was the handmaiden to a neoliberal transition.

In effect, a People’s Tribunal in Tunisia could build upon the popular justice claims that erupted into the TDC’s discussions.
