About Tunisia and its flag
Tunisia’s national flag is a red rectangle with a white central disc containing a red five-pointed star and red crescent. Article 8 of the 2022 Constitution describes those elements, while Organic Law No. 99-56 supplies the detailed legal construction of the flag.
Flag design and meaning
The flag has a 2:3 proportion: its width is two-thirds of its length. A white circle is centred at the intersection of the diagonals and has a diameter equal to one-third of the flag’s length. The circle contains a red crescent and a red five-pointed star.
- Central white disc with red crescent and five-pointed star: The Constitution makes this grouped motif the defining emblem of Tunisia’s state flag. The cited legal texts prescribe its appearance but do not assign official meanings to the red and white colours, so no colour symbolism is asserted here.
History and adoption
Its documented legal history is better understood as a series of specifications than as one simple adoption date. Organic Law No. 99-56, promulgated on 30 June 1999 and published on 6 July, set the construction details. The 2022 Constitution retains the red field, white disc, crescent, and five-pointed star.
How to recognise this flag
- Look first for the white disc centred on an otherwise red flag; the crescent and star sit inside the disc rather than directly on the field.
- Check that both the crescent and the five-pointed star are red, creating a compact red-on-white emblem at the centre.
- The legally specified 2:3 rectangle is broader than a square-shaped flag.
