Tunisia's presence in the Economic and Social Council and its committees Tunisia, which attaches great importance to the proceedings of the Economic and Social Council, was elected a member of this body for the 1996-1998 period. This membership was marked by an intense activity aimed at reinforcing the part played by the Council, based on its mandate as set forth in the UN Charter. Tunisia has stressed the need to devote adequate attention to the concerns of developing nations, taking into consideration the difficulties faced by such countries in meeting economic and social challenges, caused for the main part by lack of adequate financial resources as well as by indebtedness and the negative effects of globalization. Tunisia takes part actively in the activity of the Economic and Social Council's specialized committees, such as the Human Rights Committee, the Sustainable Development Committee, the Committee on the Status of Women, and the Social Development Committee. Its involvement in such committees constitutes an opportunity to shed light on Tunisia's achievements in various fields, and its comprehensive vision of human rights, its pioneering role in consolidating the rights of women, promoting better social conditions of all sections of society, and protecting the environment.
