This paper analyzes the components and implications of Tunisia’s December 2013 comprehensive transitional justice legislation. The author maintains that the approach adopted on this legislation contrasts with ad-hoc transitional justice measures approved by the first two caretaker governments which followed the ousted Ben-Ali regime. On the basis of a legal analysis of the new Transitional Justice law, he suggests that this law has set the country on a truth-seeking journey that has the potential to rewrite the modern history of Tunisia by modifying the Islamist-secular dichotomy that has shaped Tunisian politics since independence.
