Cooperation between Tunisia and the Council of Europe

The relationship between the Council of Europe and Tunisia has been enhanced in the context of the implementation of the Neighbourhood Policy established by the Council of Europe in 2011, making Tunisia a privileged partner in the region.

Further to the fruitful Neighbourhood Cooperation Dialogue held between the Council of Europe and Tunisian authorities and the successful implementation of the Neighbourhood Cooperation Priorities for Tunisia in 2012-2014, the Committee of Ministers decided to give a new momentum to the relationship with this country. Cooperation with Tunisia which shares with the Council of Europe the values of human rights, the rule of law and democracy, is pursued through a Neighbourhood Partnership combining and strengthening the two pillars of the policy – political dialogue and cooperation – along the lines fixed in Istanbul in 2011. The Neighbourhood Partnership offers thus a framework for an “Enhanced Political Dialogue” the intensity of which could reflect the quality of the cooperation between Tunisia and the Council of Europe.
