On 12 February 2016, Alkarama submitted its report to the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED) as part of Tunisia's initial review to be held in Geneva on 7 and 8 March 2016. Despite major human rights advances since the 2011 revolution − such as the ratification of the International Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance (ICPPED) − these advancements may be compromised due to the return of some of the former regime's freedom-curbing practices in the name of the fight against terrorism.

On 25 November 2015, the United Nations Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) announced that it will visit in Tunisia and Mauritania in 2016. This procedure follows the two States' respective ratifications of the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (OPCAT) in June 2011 and January 2012.

During its ninth session that was held from 7-18 September 2015, the Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED) adopted a list of 25 questions that will be discussed during the initial review of Tunisia by the Committee in March 2016. In particular, the Committee sought to remind Tunisia that no exceptional circumstances − including terrorism − can be invoked to justify enforced disappearance, as enshrined in the International Convention on the Protection of all Persons against Enforced Disappearances (ICPPED), binding on Tunisia by virtue of its ratification on 29 June 2011.

On 14 September 2015, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health (SR Health) and the Special Rapporteur on torture (SRT) regarding the case of Radhouane Gharsallaoui, who was arrested by the anti-terrorist brigade on 30 November 2014. Held incommunicado for several days, Gharsallaoui is currently detained in the civilian prison of Mornaguia, 15km west of Tunis, where his state of health has deteriorated considerably since he was denied medical treatment by the prison authorities a few months ago.
