La Constitution tunisienne du 27 janvier 2014 et le droit international conventionnel : les controverses alimentées

The Tunisian Constitution of January 27, 2014 is promulgated in a specific internal and international context. In this context, the new Constitution supposed to embody, through its regulation of the question of conventional international law, the scope of Tunisia openness to international life and should tackled the weakness of the Constitution of June 01, 1959. In some respects, the Constitution clarified subjects already regulated by the 1959 Constitution and on others the Constitution innovated. Nevertheless, the new Constitution has actually only powered debate over many matters relating to the conditions of applicability and primacy of conventional international law. Consequently, the expected contribution of the new Constitution is reduced and the effort of the establishers seems uncompleted.
