The proceedings of the international conference on «The Moroccan Experience in Transitional Justice» were inaugurated on the morning of Friday, December 6, 2024, at the headquarters of the House of Representatives in Rabat, Morocco.

This event, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, was organized by the National Human Rights Council (CNDH) and both chambers of Parliament.

The two-day conference commemorates the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission (IER) and highlights Morocco’s significant achievements in the field of transitional justice.

On this occasion, a Royal Message was addressed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to the participants in this international event, delivered by Ms. Amina Bouayach, CNDH Chairperson.

In his Royal Message, His Majesty King Mohammed VI reiterated that "the establishment of the IER was a sovereign decision that was part of a proactive process for managing public affairs. Based on a new concept of authority and on holding public institutions to account, that process aims to make sure all Moroccans enjoy a dignified life."

His Majesty further highlighted that, "through the recommendations made by the Equity and Reconciliation Commission - which also made proposals on public policy and emphasized the need to further promote the constitutional protection of human rights - it was possible to lay down a regulatory framework for broad-based reforms. They included the implementation of constitutional and legislative reforms, the creation of consultative and institutional mechanisms to break with past violations, the proper management of public affairs based on justice and the rule of law, and the promotion of a fresh dynamic within society."
