In discussing the rapidly evolving domestic legal and political system and the treatment of minorities, vulnerable groups, and refugees in Tunisia, this article adopts a socio-legal perspective also relying on interviews with key stakeholders. Finally, it proposes a reflection on the main (conceptual and empirical) elements of continuity between the “safe country of origin” notion and the “safe third country” one, by highlighting their deep relationship, how they may mutually influence each other, and the need to reconnect various perspectives on safety, avoiding reproducing Eurocentric analytic approaches, interpretations, and narratives.

Nosotros nos damos cuenta de su importancia especialmente cuando lo usamos para analizar las recientes actividades del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas.

Debido a esto, este concepto implica una modernización en la acción normativa del Consejo de Seguridad.
