Quick Summary

The Tunisian Human Rights League (LTDH) is a prominent civil society organization in Tunisia. It is one of the four groups that formed the National Dialogue Quartet, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015. This coalition was recognized for its crucial role in mediating political compromises during Tunisia's transition to democracy following the Tunisian Revolution of 2010–11. The LTDH, alongside other key organizations, worked to de-escalate political tensions and facilitate the drafting of a new constitution, contributing to a more stable democratic path for the country.12
