Nobel Peace Prize for Tunisian Democracy

Tunisian Democracy Group

National Dialogue Quartet made "decisive

contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy

in Tunisia", jury says.

The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet - a

democracy group - has been awarded the 2015 Nobel

Peace Prize for "its decisive contribution to the

building of a pluralistic democracy", the Norwegian

Nobel Committee has announced.

The group of four organizations established "an

alternative, peaceful political process at a time when

the country was on the brink of civil war", the

committee said on Friday, referring to the period

following Tunisia's 2011 revolution.

The National Dialogue Quartet is made up of four

key organizations in Tunisian civil society:

the Tunisian General Labor Union; the Tunisian

Confederation of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts; the

Tunisian Human Rights League; and the Tunisian

Order of Lawyers.

The jury cited the group for "its decisive contribution

to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia

in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution of 2011".

"The Nobel Peace Prize for 2015 is awarded to this

Quartet, not to the four individual organizations as

such," the committee said.
