What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?
Tunisia
Article 24 of the 2014 Tunisian Constitution states “The state protects the right to privacy and the inviolability of the home, and the confidentiality of correspondence, communications, and personal information.” (Constitution of the Republic of Tunisia, 2014). However, in 2022, President Kais Saied proposed a constitutional referendum, which passed. The 2022 Tunisian Constitution states in Article 30 “The state protects the private life, the inviolability of the domicile and the secrecy or correspondence, of communications and of personal data.” (Constitution of the Republic of Tunisia, 2022). The new constitution consolidates much of the governments power within the president, including the ability for the president to impose restrictions on the rights of Tunisian citizens under certain circumstances like national defense, public security, public health, protection of the rights of others, or protection of public morals. What this means for the right to privacy in Tunisia is that, while it is still listed as protected in the constitution, the new power of the president means that this right could be usurped if the president deemed it necessary.
