London, Monday, March 24, 2025 – During a presentation on human rights and women's rights in Morocco at the British Parliament, Ms. Amina Bouayach, Chairperson of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), outlined the fundamental pillars of Morocco’s innovative approach to human rights and democratic reform over the past two and a half decades.

From Morocco’s pioneering experience in transitional justice to the constitutional revision enshrining universal rights and freedoms, passing through the process of advanced regionalization and the 2004 Family Code reform—followed by its second reform phase starting in 2023—Ms. Bouayach explained that Morocco has tested and developed a unique reform model based on three key principles: consensus, innovation, and participation.

At the core of these structural and systemic reforms, CNDH Chairperson emphasized the clear convergence between the State and society. This ongoing interactive exercise among different societal actors, institutions, and stakeholders has shaped an approach based on three fundamental principles:
•    Building consensus among all relevant parties rather than seeking potentially ineffective compromises;
•    Innovation in designing solutions tailored to national priorities, recognizing that no universal, one-size-fits-all solutions exist;
•    Participation through an inclusive approach that listens to all actors across Morocco’s twelve regions and involves them in developing suitable solutions.

This approach, according to Ms. Bouayach, ensures that solutions remain deeply rooted in Morocco’s social and cultural reality while fostering a strong sense of ownership of rights and freedoms. Thanks to this approach, Morocco remains firmly committed to democracy and human rights—dedicated to strengthening the rule of law and good governance in a way that aligns with evolving democratic principles.

The challenge today, she added, is to continue translating all constitutional guarantees into tangible, everyday realities—fulfilling Morocco’s commitment to the full realization of rights and freedoms.
