The World Bank aims to help Morocco achieve results by financial and technical support. Unemployment is the top challenge faced by the PJD government. The reform of the justice system in Morocco is being considered by the 42 members of the Supreme body for national dialogue on the reform of justice which was established by King Mohammed VI on May 8 2012.
The High Commission's primary focus will be to develop a national charter that protects individual and collective rights and freedoms and sets down operating rules, ensuring the complete independence of the judiciary and determining safeguards that will build confidence in the system.
The World Bank Justice Sector Reform project will be piloted in 12 courts and will introduce international best practices in court management. This involve judges, administrative staff, judicial auxiliaries and users in the selected pilot courts. The project will assist in strengthening institutional capacity in the Ministry of Justice and Liberties and will help support and monitor the court system.
