National Human Right Council Annual Report Makes it Possible to Assess Highlights of Current HR Issues (Official)
Rabat - President of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), Amina Bouayach, stressed that the annual report 2019 published by this institution is an opportunity to assess, with sufficient distance and objectivity, the highlights that have marked the current human rights situation in Morocco.
Quoted in a statement by the CNDH, Bouayach indicated in the presentation of this report entitled "the effectiveness of human rights in an emerging model of freedoms" that "the expansion of freedoms in the public space, which citizens have constantly demanded, undoubtedly poses the greatest challenge facing the institutions of our emerging democracy".
"I am talking about freedom of expression, which remains the question that our society must answer on a regular and continuous basis," she explained.
The objectives of this annual report are also to assess and analyse the human rights situation in the Kingdom in relation to the tasks entrusted to the Council in the areas of the protection and promotion of human rights, according to the same source.
The ambition is to present a set of reliable and verifiable information to the reader, to enable him/her to be informed on the progress made by Morocco in the field of human rights and to diagnose the gaps as well as the causes of shortcomings and failures, the statement added.
Covering 82 pages, the report includes, in addition to a general introduction on the human rights situation, seven main chapters, namely, the protection of human rights, the promotion of a human rights culture, the relationship with the legislative institution, human rights and the media, cooperation and international relations, follow-up to the implementation of the recommendations of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission and the national mechanisms established within the Council.
