Transitional justice in Morocco is a shared legacy for all Moroccans, a collective ownership of our history and our issues related to democracy and human rights.
The high-level international conference on “The Moroccan Experience in Transitional Justice," organized under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI by the National Human Rights Council (CNDH) and Parliament, concluded today at the Parliament headquarters in Rabat, Morocco. The event took place on 6 and 7 December 2024.
In her closing statement, Ms. Amina Bouayach, CNDH Chairperson, considered that transitional justice in Morocco, as the journey concludes two decades, represents a shared heritage for all Moroccans, reflecting a collective ownership of Moroccans’ history and the issues related to democracy and human rights.
Ms. Bouayach further highlighted that the Moroccan experience in transitional justice was shaped through an unprecedented and qualitative interaction between the will of the State and society, as well as through the dynamics of victims and societal actors, all aimed at achieving a higher purpose: consolidating democratic transition.
This international conference was held to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission (IER). At the opening session, a Royal Message addressed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to the participants was delivered by Ms. Amina Bouayach, CNDH Chairperson.
