The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet[1] (founded in 2013) for "its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution of 2011".[2]
The National Dialogue Quartet was formed in 2013 and comprises four organizations in Tunisian civil society:[2]
The Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT, Union Générale Tunisienne du Travail)
The Tunisian Confederation of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts (UTICA, Union Tunisienne de l’Industrie, du Commerce et de l’Artisanat)
The Tunisian Human Rights League (LTDH, La Ligue Tunisienne pour la Défense des Droits de l’Homme)
The Tunisian Order of Lawyers (Ordre National des Avocats de Tunisie).
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".[3]
