A resolution recognizing Tunisia's leadership in the Arab Spring and expressing support for upholding its democratic principles and norms.

S. Res. 310 is a non-binding Senate resolution recognizing Tunisia’s role as a symbolic birthplace of the Arab Spring and expressing support for upholding Tunisia’s democratic principles and norms. It recounts Tunisia’s democratic milestones since 2011, notes recent concerns about reversals of democratic gains, and calls for concrete actions in Tunisia—such as the release of political prisoners, protection of freedoms, and restoration of independent institutions. The resolution also supports the Tunisian people’s right to peaceful protest and urges the U.S. administration to impose sanctions on Tunisian officials implicated in repressing democratic activities. As a resolution, it expresses the Senate’s views and policy preferences but does not itself change law or authorize new spending.
