In line with Articles 48 and 51 of Law 76-15 related to its reorganization, the National Human Rights Council (CNDH) released, after its adoption by the General Assembly, its Annual Report 2022 on the situation of human rights in Morocco entitled: Redefining priorities to enhance the effectiveness of human rights on Wednesday 10 May 2023.
As an independent constitutional institution, the CNDH published this report as part of its mandate related to defending, protecting and promoting human rights and freedoms and ensuring their full exercise.
At the press conference, Ms. Amina Bouayach, CNDH chairperson, underlined that this annual report is the fourth of the CNDH’s current mandate. It coincides with the CNDH’s celebration of its 33rd anniversary.
Ms. Bouayach noted that this process confirms the voluntary engagement of Morocco within the human rights system and emphasizes the CNDH’s growth in dealing with human rights issues, including emerging ones.
CNDH Chairperson indicated that this report is an assessment of the human rights situation in Morocco and its interventions related to protecting and promoting human rights and preventing violations (...).
Ms. Bouayach added that this report identifies the general view of the human rights situation in Morocco, based on examining several factors affecting the performance of the various components of the national human rights protection system.
Within the same context, she stressed that, as every year, drafting this report was based on a participatory approach. It was developed by a special committee under the supervision of the CNDH’s presidency and with the participation of all CNDH components, including the General Assembly members, the Council's office, CNDH Regional Commissions, National Mechanisms and Administrative Structures.
The CNDH report contains more than 300 pages. It includes 249 thematic or general recommendations, including 87 issued by National Mechanisms, and 41 structured ones related to Morocco’s conventional practice and its interaction with the international human rights system, legal and institutional framework, public policies, programs and practices.
